Steen Ohman, Winehog.org: The Chevalier-Montrachet Clos des Chevaliers is located in the northern end of the original Chevalier-Montrachet – between the plot of Domaine d’Auvenay and the Demoiselles section belonging to Louis Jadot and Louis Latour. This clos is 0.42 ha and the oldest vines are from 1947-48. This is, even in the 2018 vintage, the top dog in the Chartron lineup. It’s rich, balanced and detailed, with the old vines providing a special silky, effortless feel. It’s intense with fine depth. A charming effort, although not quite rivalling the 2017. 94-95 Points

 

Bill Nanson, The Burgudy Report: Ooh, now that's such a great a nose, so deep, so beautifully attractive. Ooh - volume, some base of oak but so balanced, simply bravo!

 

Jasper Morris:

Pale lemon colour wi 11 light green reflections. The bouquet is not yet ready to speak to us. The wine on
he palate however is: this is a very classy expression of Chevalier-Montrachet that fills the palate with
discretion, not a all muscular, the sinews are altogether more silky. The concentration of fruit however
is not in doubt. The acidity is entirely woven in to the giraceful pure whi e fruit. Very fine. Tasted:

John Gilman "View from the Cellar"

The 2018 Clos des Chevaliers is probably once again the finest wine in the Chartron cellars this year, but the race is neck and neck between it and the outstanding Bâtard! The bouquet is young and shows great potential in its combination of pear, apple, pastry cream, gorgeous, chalky soil tones, a touch of fresh almond, vanillin oak and a beautiful floral top note redolent of acacia blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nicely ripe on the attack, with great purity and mineral drive, a superb core, bright acids and a long, zesty and laser-like finish. 2027-2065+.

Sarah Marsh MW "The Burgundy Briefing"

Focused and intense. Power and tension. Dynamic. There is a richness, a cloaking of seductive fruit combined and enveloping the steel core of minerality. Impressive. 2024-2035.

Wine Advocate - Neal Martin

The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Clos de Chevaliers Grand Cru has a wonderful, engaging bouquet with yellow flowers, jasmine and flinty aromas; subtle praline aromas surface with aeration. You could nose this all day! The well-balanced palate displays fine poise and focus, offering veins of white peach intermixed with white chocolate and almond before the citrus core takes hold of the steering wheel on the finish. This is a multifaceted Chevalier-Montrachet that should give many years of drinking pleasure. Six barrels produced.
