99 / 100"Pale primrose in colour. Noticeably more majesty here, a greater depth and also a little touch of oak. Halfway at least to Montrachet. An entirely coherent expression with a stunning density of white fruit, and a perfectly integrated acidity. This year the Cabotte is closer to the power of Montrachet, a brilliant wine. Drink from 2032-2040. - 96-99 Points"

"If this year's regular Chevalier could be mistaken for La Cabotte in a blind tasting, so the 2022 Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte Grand Cru might be mistaken for a Montrachet. Offering up youthfully reductive aromas of pear and peach mingled with hazelnuts, white flowers and orange oil, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with broad structural shoulders and an unctuous core of fruit, concluding with a long, saline finish. 95-97 Points, William Kelley"

"(Bouchard has been separately vinifying this .21 ha parcel, which at one time was part of Montrachet, since 1992 though the first commercial release was not until 1997; Bouchard jokingly refers to this parcel as their "Montrachet du haute pente", or upper slope Montrachet). A slightly riper and vaguely exotic nose displays a pretty array of floral elements nuanced by hints of spice, soft wood and pear liqueur. There is slightly better volume if not necessarily better concentration to the delicious big-bodied flavors that exude a similar level of minerality on the compact, austere and linear finish. As is often the case with this wine, it's not saying much at present and as such, this too is going to need a long stay in a cool cellar. 92-95 Points - Allen Meadows"
