The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is more backward and tight on the nose than the regular Chevalier, though with aeration subtle Golden Delicious apple, white Chinese tea and citrus aromas emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry. This has a little more nervosité than the regular cuvée and displays excellent delineation on the flinty finish. Great potential. 

-- Neal Martin

The 2019 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is showing brilliantly, bursting with aromas of pear, citrus oil, honeycomb, buttered toast and struck match. Full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's long and multidimensional, with racy acids and a penetrating, saline finish. From a small terrace above Montrachet, "La Cabotte" has been bottled separately since 1997.

This too flirts with exoticism with its slightly riper array of white and yellow fruit aromas that are trimmed in hints of dried apricot, essence of acacia and a dollop of wood toast. The denser and more expansive big-bodied flavors possess a distinctly different texture compared to the regular cuvée before terminating in a powerful, palate coating and powerful finale. Depending on the vintage, La Cabotte can more resemble a Chevalier and in others a Montrachet; in 2019 this seems to lean more in the direction of Montrachet.
