2018 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

2018 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru"The 2018 Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru has an intense bouquet of lemon thyme, crushed limestone, and traces of orange pith and citrus peel that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is underpinned with a fine, almost razor sharp bead of acidity. There is a wonderful crescendo of flavor here, leading to a multifaceted, lemongrass tinged finish that lingers with a saline aftertaste. This is sheer class, a tremendous Chevalier Montrachet." 98 100
