2019 Domaine Bruno Colin Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru
It is the terroir that expresses itself by revealing an incomparable minerality. Very nice length in the mouth. This wine combines power and elegance, complexity and nervousness. All in finesse...
Wine Enthusiast
From the flagship vineyard of an exceptionally terroir-focused producer, this spicy, smoky sip offers the seduction of French oak alongside piercing lemon, white peach and even pineapple flavors. Creamy and silk-tipped yet vital and translucent, it's everything you could ask of Grand Cru white Burgundy in such a ripe vintage. Irresistible young, the wine should continue to gain complexity through 2035. *Editors' Choice*
Burghound
Moderate wood surrounds the very spicy nose that is composed by notes of citrus confit, poached pear and fresh fennel wisps. The dense broad-shouldered flavors possess an opulent and mouth coating mid-palate while flashing plenty of minerality on the very dry, hugely long and powerful finale. This will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range but at a minimum it should be very good.
Vinous
The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a single parcel within the Grand Cru next to Leroy and Leflaive - not a bad place to be located! Matured entirely in new 500-litre barrels, it has an intense bouquet with freshly squeezed lime, citrus peel and crushed rock, a hint of peony emerging with aeration. The palate is well balanced with impressive depth, a fine bead of acidity, quite saline and spicy, especially the latter towards the persistent finish. A very capable Chevalier-Montrachet, one that I think will bide its time.
