Winemaker Notes
Distinguished bouquet, with floral and fruit aromas as well as a toasted note. Complex and rich, without the least heaviness, this wine is elegance itself. Very good ageing potential.
Pair with fish dishes in sauce, foie gras, elegant starters.

James Suckling
This white is spectacular with a muscular and tightly formed design that gives the wine a wonderful density and agility. Really in texture more like a red wine. Full body, fantastic fruit. Long finish. Better in 2018.

COMMENTARY: The 2013 Bouchard Père & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet is a magnificent wine. Its length on the palate is remarkable. TASTING NOTES: This wine deftly combines ripe fruit and minerality. Enjoy it with steamed sea bass garnished with scallions and slivered ginger root. (Tasted: March 3, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a crisp, limestone, mint-scented bouquet that is very nuanced, but gains intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a taut line of acidity, hints of white peach and orange zest developing toward the tender but long finish that reveals its mineral core with each swirl. This is a classy Chevalier-Montrachet from Bouchard Père.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 -
Wine Spectator
A rich and juicy style, this white delivers peach, apple tart and spice aromas and flavors, backed by lively structure. Intense and resonant on the long aftertaste. Best from 2017 through 2025. 50 cases imported.

Established in 1731, Bouchard Père & Fils is one of the oldest and most diverse Estate in Burgundy with approximately 130 ha (320 acres) of vineyards, the majority of which are Premiers and Grands Crus. Highly sought after, their wines benefit from optimal ageing conditions in the underground cellars of the Château de Beaune, the former 15th century royal fortress that the Domaine has occupied since 1820. Bouchard Père & Fils doesn't make wines; they bring them into existence. Cultivation and vinification, on a plot-by-plot basis, are a form of craftmanship that they pride themselves on which has led to the utmost respect for their terroirs. Bouchard Père & Fils obtained the highest level of sustainable agricultural certification (HVE3) in 2015, being the first in the Côte d'Or to do so.
