Chevalier Montrachet, Bernard Moreau 2015

The 2015 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru comes from the equivalent of three regular barrels actually aged in two larger 350-liter barrels. The bouquet is very intense, showing a slight reduction that does not impede upon the mineral expression, those scents of cold wet limestone and slate. The palate is crisp and fresh on the entry, very cohesive and with great depth, the oak in good proportion to the fruit, leading to a caressing, walnut-tinged finish. While not as transcendental as the 2014 could become, this remains a very finely tuned Chevalier-Montrachet.
