Reviews & Scores
 Bracing aromas of lemon, pineapple and petrolly minerality; reminded me of a top Alsace riesling. Creamy, vibrant and classic, with great purity of flavor, harmonious palate-stimulating acidity and a captivating mineral coolness. Fully ripe but not overripe. The wonderfully rich, horizontal finish goes on and on. Perfectly balanced for two decades or more of positive evolution in bottle.

 Here the nose displays noticeable sulfur and it's enough to knock down the expressiveness of the otherwise attractively ripe and complex aromas that are compositionally similar to those of the Chevalier. The textured, concentrated and overtly muscular flavors brim with an abundance of dry extract before concluding in an explosively long, mouth coating and almost painfully intense finish. As is often the case, the 2010 La Cabotte displays characteristics of both the Montrachet and the Chevalier and this is one beautiful wine. Note that I do not expect the sulfur to be an issue as the wine ages though if you're tempted to try a bottle young it would be good to decant it first. *Outstanding*

As is always the case (at least in my experience- which is nowhere near as in-depth as I would like!), the 2010 la Cabotte bottling of Chevalier is a decided step up from the 'regular' Chevy-Lou and is one of the most brilliant bottles I have tasted from the vintage. The magical bouquet delivers a kaleidoscope of Chevalier nuances in its blend of apple, pear, fresh lemon, a touch of iodine, very complex, chalky minerality, white flowers and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and very, very complex, with a weightless elegance that borders on the ethereal. The finish is endless, with great focus, bounce and racy precision. Just a stunning, stunning bottle of Chevalier!

 Mineral, almost steely nose. Then lovely citrus fruit density on the palate, enveloping the spicy oak effect. Firm, almost a little chewy at the moment. Beautifully balanced and rich and long to the very end.
