(Chevalier-Montrachet “les Demoiselles”- Maison Louis Jadot) The 2010 Les Demoiselles is a classic in the making. The deep, pure and quite primary nose offers up scents of apple, pear, lemon zest, chalky minerality, apple blossoms and new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with magical purity on the attack, a rock solid core of fruit, laser-like focus and flawless focus and balance on the very, very long, youthful and stunning finish. A great vintage of Les Demoiselles. (Drink between 2019-2060) 96+ points

Here there is no reduction and the purity of the elegant if highly restrained nose of citrus, acacia blossom and pungent wet stone aromas is stunning. Not surprisingly, the medium-bodied flavors are much finer than those of the Bâtard or Corton-Charlemagne though not as big or powerful. The acid spine is also quite firm but somewhat better integrated as there is no obvious malic tang, all wrapped in a gorgeously intense, lingering and impeccably well-balanced finish.
