Bouchard Père et Fils
La Cabotte Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Puligny-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Bright and punchy and zesty with a punch of marzipan and driving lemon. Good minerality. Punchy. A bit early to tell. But great bones. From mag.

Delectable - this was not La Cabotte but the “standard “ Bouchard Chevalier Montrachet. A lovely harmonious palate - a touch of salt amongst the citrus flavours. Good acid. I liked this. A good future but one could happily drink this now. As a bracket these 9 Grand Cru White Burgundies had a sweetness of fruit character for the warm vintage. The bigger fruit easily soaked up the Oak. In the cooler 2014 vintage tasting last year, the oak was more noticeable in their youth.
