Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2026-2040, Jancis Robinson MW, Jun 2024

This seems much more classic than the 2017 on the nose: blossom and dried apricots. Plus freshness. Racy and quite intense. Well behaved. But long. A certain saline streak. Racy and introvert. Tight. Complex. (JR)

Translucent gold. A highly complex bouquet evokes ripe citrus and pit fruits, violet, candied fig and smoky minerals that show fine definition and spicy lift. Stains the palate with concentrated Meyer lemon, nectarine, melon and honeysuckle flavors that are supported by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. Densely packed and powerful yet surprisingly lithe as well. Shows outstanding energy and resonating mineral and floral qualities on an impressively long, sappy finish.

Paradoxically, the 2016 Chateau Grillet seems more developed and yet fresher than the 2017. Caramel overtones frame notes of apricot and peach on the full-bodied, silky-textured palate, hung on a backbone of brine and citrus zest. Less opulent and flamboyant than the 2017, it could be described as more classic, and it will probably age a bit longer.
