A background whiff of exotic fruit can be found on the spicy and complex nose of essence of white peach, passion fruit, baked apple and acacia blossom aromas. There is good power and punch to the overtly mineral-driven broad-shouldered yet refined flavors that possess a borderline creamy mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the driving and tightly wound finish that delivers excellent depth and length. In a word, terrific
Vinous
The 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from bought-in grapes sourced from the upper sector. It has a fragrant, floral bouquet with dandelion scents filtering through the citrus fruit, although I actually prefer the gung-ho aromatics of the Bâtard by comparison. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly honeyed texture on the entry. There is a lovely spicy undertow here, and an intense lemongrass-infused finish that lingers 45-plus seconds in the mouth. Very fine. Four barrels produced.

Decanter
It's usually the other way round, but this Chevalier-Montrachet has more power and concentration than the Etienne Sauzet Bâtard-Montrachet in 2018. Exhibiting appealing struck match aromas, this segues into a palate with notes of dried coconut and vanilla, leesy, creamy flavours and underlying zip and chalky minerality. A classy négociant white.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A cuvée produced from purchased must, Sauzet's 2018 Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru delivers a pretty bouquet of citrus oil, white flowers, fresh peach and clear honey. Full-bodied, ample and incisive, it's beautifully defined, even if it can't match the depth and concentration of the Bâtard and Bienvenues.
