"It is difficult following the compelling Perrieres, even if it is Lafon’s iconic Montrachet! But this delivers. A stunning, intense nose of limestone, wet pavement with a touch of acacia and orange peel. The palate is beautifully balanced, completely harmonious with immense purity. Apple blossom, minerals and citrus fruits on the finish, yet to show its character or personality, but the persistency on the finish has to be tasted to be believed." Neal Martin, Wine Journal, Dec 1999 |
