Tension and depth define Domaine Leflaive’s 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, a chiseled, chalk-driven white Burgundy where intense citrus, cooked apple and stone-fruit notes ride over a core of crushed rock and sea breeze. The palate feels electric yet finely cushioned, with superb texture, powerful extract and still-youthful oak that promises even greater complexity as it mellows in bottle. A serious, tightly coiled Chevalier that combines grand cru power with remarkable precision and length.

Domaine Leflaive’s Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a biodynamically farmed, old-vine Chardonnay from multiple parcels high on the Chevalier slope above Montrachet in Puligny-Montrachet, where shallow calcareous-clay soils and cooler, breezy exposure yield intensely mineral, tensile wines of great finesse. Typically aged about a year in (c.25% new) oak followed by further time in tank, it is renowned as one of Burgundy’s most elegant yet powerful Grands Crus, marrying citrus and white‑flower purity with deep, long-lived structure.
