The 2024 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru “Clos des Chevaliers” Monopole from Domaine Jean Chartron is a breathtaking expression of precision, elegance, and terroir transparency. Produced from the domaine’s historic monopole parcel, this wine represents the pinnacle of refinement in white Burgundy.
The nose is intensely aromatic yet restrained, revealing layers of citrus blossom, preserved lemon, white peach, crushed oyster shell, hazelnut, acacia flower, and delicate smoky minerality. On the palate, the wine is remarkably linear and focused, driven by electric acidity and extraordinary mineral tension. Notes of citrus oil, orchard fruit, almond cream, chalk, and wet stone unfold with incredible detail and persistence.
Compared to the broader richness of Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier is defined by its lifted energy, finesse, and crystalline structure. The cooler 2024 vintage further accentuates this style, resulting in a wine of exceptional purity and aging potential. Profound now, but built for decades in cellar.
