2023 Maison Louis Jadot, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru, Les Demoiselles

The 2023 Chevalier-Montrachet Demoiselles Grand Cru has a very controlled bouquet—without the fireworks of the Bienvenue, yet with real mineralité and poise—offering delicate touches of yellow fruit and crushed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied and very intense with a waxy-textured opening, fine acidity and notes of walnut and allspice that give way to a little pepperiness toward the finish. This is a multifaceted Chevalier-Montrachet that should age well over the next 20 to 25 years.

The 2023 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Les Demoiselles (Domaine des Héritiers Jadot) is one of the highlights of the range, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus zest, crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and iodine. Full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's pure and racy, with good depth at the core and a long, saline finish. It should develop superbly in bottle.
