Wine Advocate, Robert Parker 94-96 Points - The 2013 Chevalier-Montrachet “Clos des Chevalier” Grand Cru is showing a little new wood character on the nose, although this will disappear after fining. The palate is very smooth and seductive. The acidity is extraordinarily well judged and is threaded through the lightly honeyed, mineral-rich fruit. This is a gorgeous Chevalier-Montrachet with not a hair out of place on the long and tender finish. This could turn out to be one of the white gems of the 2013 vintage - chapeau!
Jean-Michel Chartron has really been ratcheting up his historic, Puligny-based domaine in recent vintages and I feel that there the reputation of this domaine is yet to catch up with quality you will find. Take just one look at the portfolio and you will see that Jean-Michel presides over some enviable parcels, even anomalies such as his red Puligny-Montrachet, as far as I know the only survivor (though as Jean-Michel pointed out to me, around one-third of the vines in Puligny were red until the Second World War.) You will find much to like in his 2013s, the wines generally full of vivacity and minerality, expressive of their respective terroirs.
