95 / 100 Robert Parker The 2010 Chevalier-Montrachet comes across as quite subtle at this stage. Today it appears to lack some mid-palate depth and concentration, but that may come as the wine fleshes out with further time in bottle. Even though it is quite beautiful from a textural standpoint, the Chevalier is the least expressive of the grand crus. With time in the glass, gorgeous floral notes and hints of honey blossom as the Chevalier shows off its sensual personality and beautifully layered fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2020+. eRobertParker.com #202 Aug 2012
18.5 / 20 Jancis Robinson Looks lighter than the Bâtard. Hazelnuts on the nose. Some transparency. Racy and lacy and delicate – fine minerals on the palate. Majestic is too heavy a word for it. Ethereal? Great delicacy. http://www.jancisrobinson.com/tastings/search?keywords=%20..
97 / 100 Allen Meadow An airy, cool and ultra-refined nose displays distinct lemon-lime and acacia blossom scents include background notes of stone and saline that complement to perfection the intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess superb precision on the explosive and palate staining finish that seems to just go on and on. This is quite dry; in fact it's arguably the driest wine in the range yet this is not forbiddingly austere. I very much like the contrast between the sense of focused power and the mouth feel which is almost delicate. This is sheer class and the balance is flawless. This should go down as a classic vintage for this storied wine. A true 'wow' wine. http://www.burghound.com/tnsearch/index.php?id=193269
