Antonio Galloni - (89-91) Points

"The 2021 Meursault Les Chevalières has a more backward nose compared to Monnot's other cuvées and demands more coaxing from the glass. The palate is well balanced with orange zest and Nashi pear, just a soupçon of spice and gently fanning out towards the finish. This gets better as it goes along."
