This was a challenging white Burgundy vintage, but the 1991 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru has aged extremely well and emerged as one of the sleepers of this tasting. Offering up an expressive bouquet of white flowers, honeyed apples and orange rind, it's full-bodied, unctuously textured and powerful, with ripe acids, considerable concentration and chewy structuring extract, concluding with a long and expansive finish. While it's hardly given away, this represents good value in the context of mature vintages of Leflaive's Chevalier, and I wouldn't hesitate to pick up well-cellared bottles for drinking over the next decade. By the numbers, the wine finished with 14.1% alcohol and pH 3.26.
