Domaine d’Auvenay, owned and run by Lalou Bize-Leroy, sits at the very highest echelon of Burgundy production with wines that are almost unparalleled in rarity and quality. The 1995 is rich and elegant, with tropical fruit, refined citrus and a charming freshness.

Though I was privileged to sample half a dozen mature vintages at a memorable vertical in Hong Kong, that tasting did not include the 1995 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru. Though it’s now eye-wateringly expensive, if you can find a bottle, that does not place it above criticism. The nose is very ripe with what feels like a touch of botrytis skimming away the detail that you find with the 1996. It develops a slight smoky tincture with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy texture, to the extent that I would mistake it for a Corton-Charlemagne in a blind tasting. The final three words jotted down in my tasting booklet are a pithy "I've," "had" and "better." Neal Martin1st August 2021
