99 points (19.5/20) La Revue du Vin de France: "The Chevalier delivers extremely elegant notes of vine flowers. Subtly smoky, its fine, nuanced flesh offers unctuous tension and raw persistence. (2020)"
98 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "One of the outstanding white wines of the vintage, this comes from a 0.18ha parcel that always seems to produce a brilliant white wine. It's waxy and aromatic, with sappy notes alongside oatmeal, citrus and wet stone. The palate is floral, layered and effortlessly nuanced, the one-third new oak enhancing its complexity. Drink: 2021-2035. (10/27/18)"
95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Bright mid primrose. There is a lightly oxidative or is it smokily charred wood aspect to the nose. Assuming this modifies, this will become an excellent Chevalier because the wine displays the racy intensity of the vineyard and excellent persistence. Slight sweet and sour at the moment. (Jul 2021)"
95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru showed just a little reduction on the nose, displaying a faint cough candy scent along with yellow flowers and lemon thyme; an underlying steeliness emerges with continued aeration. The palate has a lime- and orange-peel-tinged entry, good weight and less reduction than the aromatics. It feels fresh and lightly spiced toward a citric, energetic, complex finish. This has a lot of potential and was easily the best showing from the estate at the Burgfest blind tasting. Drink: 2025-2055. (Aug 2021)"
