The 2007 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru opens in the glass with scents of lemon oil, clear honey, confit citrus, warm bread, almond paste and a very discrete touch of smoky reduction. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with unusual volume and breadth for the vintage, striking concentration and an incisive spine of acidity, concluding with a long, vibrant and chalky finish. While this 2007 is still a few years from true maturity, it clearly numbers among the wines of the vintage.
I was frankly a bit surprised but how this wine showed as I have had great success (save for a few premoxed examples) with it from 750 ml (see herein). While it was certainly lovely, it didn't quite offer the same dazzling complexity on either the nose or the palate. Moreover, I was equally surprised at how well it was drinking. In sum, we had no trouble finishing the bottle but as I noted, it didn't dazzle as expected. Perhaps it was just this magnum (which appeared to be in perfect condition). Be sure to see the note from 750 ml as I suspect that it is more representative.
