The 2007 Bouchard Pere And Fils Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru is an exceptional Chardonnay from the prestigious La Cabotte parcel within Chevalier-Montrachet, one of Burgundy's most revered Grand Cru vineyards. Produced by Bouchard Père & Fils, this mature vintage reveals elegant aromas of preserved citrus, ripe orchard fruit, toasted hazelnut, brioche and delicate flinty minerality, reflecting both its renowned terroir and careful bottle age.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and beautifully integrated, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of lemon curd, baked apple and subtle oak spice. A fine mineral backbone adds precision and balance, leading to a long, complex finish with remarkable persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a superb Grand Cru Chardonnay for collectors and lovers of mature White Burgundy. Ready to enjoy now, it pairs beautifully with butter-poached lobster, roasted turbot, creamy poultry dishes or aged Comté cheese. Serve lightly chilled to appreciate its depth, complexity and evolving character.
