(92-94) The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has a taut, stony bouquet with a subtle marine influence, hints of oyster shell, almost estuarine aromas, developing in the glass and complementing the citrus fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine bead of acidity, commendable weight and density in the mouth and some lovely baked bread notes toward the finish. For me, it just needs more bite, more nervosité, a facet that might have been denied by the warmth of the growing season. Still, this should drink well over the next couple of decades.- NM
