The 2011 Bouchard Père & Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is a celebrated Chardonnay from Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, specifically from the prestigious Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard. This wine is known for its rich complexity, elegance, and aging potential.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: A bright, golden-yellow hue, indicating both maturity and concentration.
- Aroma: The nose opens with ripe tropical fruit notes—think pineapple, mango, and a hint of lemon—layered with subtle floral hints, honey, and almond. These aromas are complemented by buttery and slightly toasty notes from oak aging.
- Palate: Full-bodied yet balanced, this wine shows intense flavors of stone fruits like peach and apricot, along with citrus. Its minerality and acidity bring a refined, focused structure that counterbalances the lushness of the fruit, leading to a long, persistent finish. This vintage is notable for its sense of power paired with finesse.
- Aging Potential: Though drinkable now, this wine can age further, developing even more complex flavors over the next several years.
Critic Reviews:
- Wine Enthusiast: Awarded the wine 96 points, noting its ripe, dense structure and recommending it for consumption starting around 2018Wine-Searcher.
- Wine Advocate: Similarly praised the wine's structure and richness, recommending it for those who appreciate a more powerful, concentrated style in white Burgundy.
Food Pairing:
This wine pairs exceptionally well with rich seafood (lobster, scallops), roasted poultry, and creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, which complement its texture and flavor profile.
