"There are only 25 cases of the Amiot-Bonfils 1989 Montrachet - for the world. Unbelievably spectacular, it clearly rivals the 1989 Montrachets produced by the likes of Ramonet and the Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. The nose exhibits a profound honeyed richness, the palate displays the very essence of Chardonnay, and the finish endures extraordinarily. It is nearly painful to drink, largely because the wine's rarity and price probably preclude ever seeing another bottle."
