Deep nose of toasted hazelnuts, smoke, caramel and candied citrus peel. Rich, concentrated and creamy on the full-bodied palate, with an intensity of minerality that builds to a huge climax. Plenty of power and drama here, also some oak, but it all fits together beautifully at the very long, focused finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2026. (Stuart Pigott, June 2024)

As it usually is, this is exceptionally floral with additional notes of poached pear, white peach, citrus confit and anise hints. The rich, sappy and even more concentrated big-bodied flavors possess an appealing underlying tension on the intensely stony and bone-dry finish that offers just a bit more depth and persistence. A combination of power and refinement that is built for at least a decade of keeping.  (Allen Meadows, USA, June 2024)

Some people think that Grand Cru white Burgundy is always big and rich, but this shows how certain of those sites are all about elegance and refinement. On the mid-palate there's wonderful silkiness, then the minerality builds and builds at the finish. A touch of vanilla there from new oak, but not a jot too much. Drink or hold.

A cool, elegant and wonderfully spicy nose of mostly citrus,
pear and acacia blossom is trimmed in just enough wood to
notice. I very much like the mouthfeel of the seductive and
refined larger-scaled flavors that brim with minerality on the
clean and impressively long finale where a hint of sweetness
gradually surfaces. This is built to repay up to decade of
cellaring. 2028+

This was bottled in November 2021. The nose shows acacia and vine flowers and the palate has quite a fat, dense feeling with plenty of volume and power to its concentrated, full-bodied nature. It is balanced despite its 14% alcohol. The finish is dense and saline.

Enormously complex nose that marries so many flinty, savory and citrus aromas. Astonishing texture on the rich but precisely delineated palate, the concentration creeping up on you, building and building to a great crescendo. Enormously mineral aftertaste. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.

"The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Grand Cru opens in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, orange oil, almond paste, pineapple and fresh pastry. Full-bodied, satiny and textural, it's rich and expressive, with lively acids and a charming, demonstrative personality."

There's boldness and energy to this with superb concentration of fruit and density, yet it remains agile and lively with length and drive. The flavors are superbly complex and subtle with ripe-apple, cream, honeysuckle, mineral and hot-stone undertones. Goes on for minutes. This is one for the cellar. Impressive to taste now, but one to try in 2023 and onwards to appreciate its full potential.

Much like the Bâtard this too is overtly floral in character with its aromas of rose petal, lavender and acacia blossom that add a touch of elegance to the citrusy white peach and peach scents. The caressing but intense broadshouldered flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the sappy extract-rich finish that is both powerful and impressively long.

Pale lemon-gold. Sheer beauty of scent, with all the finesse and poise one would hope for from this special site: fresh, pure, subtle, light greengage and quince, the oak integrating seamlessly. The discretion, restraint, and subtlety are matched perfectly on the palate by the gentle expansion without any loss of precision or tension, while the light agrumes bitterness counteracts the warmth of the vintage. (Neil Beckett, cask sample)

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Grand Cru is quite reserved, unwinding in the glass to reveal notions of citrus oil, pear and wheat toast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate that's promisingly tensile and penetrating.

Wow - what a nose - Grand Montagne plus, plus - and so complex too. Great scale, freshness and cut. The acidity is practically perfect, this is mineral and it is melting with great agrume citrus. Vibrantly mineral finishing too with no rigour, just love! Grand Vin. one of my two top whites in December!

The 2017 Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Grand Cru is showing very well, wafting from the glass with notes of waxy lemon rind, white flowers, lime zest and an elegant framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, textural and multidimensional, with promising depth and concentration, balanced by racy acids. If all those qualities make it into the bottle, it will be a wine worth seeking out. (cask sample)

Rich, leesy and comparatively late picked in 2017, this has the weight and texture to handle its 100% new wood, plus plenty of taut, refreshing minerality." Drinking Window: 2021 - 2032

Uber-attractive nose here. Structured - like the Charlemagne - but a little less burly, more a line of flavour. Simply a great finish, simply great...

A straightforward white, displaying vanilla-tinged peach, apple and butterscotch flavors. Ripe, powerful and creamy, expanding on the long finish, with a touch of tannins.

This 0.51-hectare parcel has been part of the Louis Latour portfolio since 1913, and has never tasted better as a young wine in my experience. Fermented in new oak, as all the négociant's top whites are, this has appealing vanilla spice and toast aromas, sappy, mouth-watering acidity and considerable weight. Delicious. 2021-30

Fullish yellow, a rich waxy buttery nose, certainly some oak. Then the fruit comes up behind. Rich, perhaps a little heavy, but there is a fundamental core of rich white fruit. I think the wine is going to win out over the oak treatment. (tasted prior to bottling)

A ripe, dense wine, this has powerful fruit and a serious long-term future. It is rich with yellow fruits with a generous, creamy texture, and tight with minerality. (USA)

A beautifully fresh nose displays a combination of ripe aromas that include notes of various white-fleshed fruit, citrus and acacia blossom that are trimmed in wisps of both spice and soft wood. There is very fine concentration to the sleek and mineral-driven flavors that possess solid if not sensational concentration, all wrapped in a clean and dry finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is built to reward mid to even longer-term cellaring and it should be lovely when it finally arrives. (91-94)/2025+

Vibrant - very attractive. This is a fine wide and complex wine, with a hint of tannic-like texture. Really very complex on the palate too - more saline. Super wine, certainly a little more mineral. Bill Nanson (UK)

Candied-lemon, mango, and cooked-apple aromas. Full bodied, layered and powerful with plenty of fruit, yet it's firm and lightly phenolic with a solid backbone of acid and mineral extract. Always polished and refined texture. Fantastic. Drink or hold.

An emphatically floral and softly exotic nose displays top notes of mango, apricot, citrus, spice and oak nuances. There is incredible richness to the sumptuously opulent and concentrated big-bodied flavors that despite the richness retain a lovely sense of verve and punch on the beautifully complex and highly persistent finish. I would further note that this is so concentrated that it's almost chewy today and this is one of those relatively rare built-to-age wines that could actually be enjoyed in its youth thanks to the abundant dry extract.

"A generous Chevalier," as one taster put it. But I loved it! It was better for my palate than the all impressive and opulent Batard, because it had more lift and freshness, more white than yellow stone fruit. Indeed, the floral bouquet elements were more evident on the nose. Of course, the palate was ample but nicely balanced. Delicate yet very long finish. Wow ! 

This 0.51 hectare parcel has been part of the Louis Latour portfolio since 1913. It's sill a very young, even chiseled wine with notes of pink grapefruit and lemon tart, a chalky bite, some aniseed and stylish oak integration, with some creamy lees in the mid palate. 2020-30 (UK)

This is broad and powerful, exhibiting ripe peach, nut oil, lemon tart, vanilla and clove notes. This is softer than its peers, but the finish has a chalky feel that lends grip and support. Best from 2018 through 2030. By Bruce Sanderson (USA)

Apricot, roasted lemon, butterscotch and toast flavors mark this flamboyant white. Plush, powerful and on the softer side of the vintage, with light tannins on the finish. Best from 2018 through 2028.
