Bouchard Père et Fils produces two distinct expressions of Chevalier-Montrachet, and La Cabotte, a 0.2ha lieu-dit, has been bottled separately since the 1997 vintage. The 2008 vintage, while from a less celebrated year, offers a compelling expression of this Grand Cru. The wine is more tightly wound compared to other vintages but showcases impressive intensity of fruit, with layers of citrus, white flowers, and a mineral backbone. The finish is long and precise, highlighting the terroir’s complexity and ageing potential.
95 Vinous
Bright pale yellow. Initially reticent nose opens slowly to reveal exotic orange oil, honey, flowers and rock. Then wonderfully sweet and creamy in the mouth, with tangy tangerine and orange flavors complicated by crushed stone, toast and a leesy nuance. Penetrating stony acidity keeps this wine on message, but the very long finish also boasts superb lingering sweetness and breadth to go with the firm minerality.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2010

More intense on the nose than the straight Chevalier-Montrachet. Creamier but the citrus fruit also more fragrant. Powerful, firmly textured but with neither grain nor grip. (JH)Julia Harding13th January 2010
