"I was clearly too conservative in assessing the development potential of this wine as it has surpassed my expectations. The pure, cool and classy nose features notes of spice, white flowers and ripe peach and pear and is followed by backward, intense and firm medium full-bodied flavors that are powerful and focused on the hugely long finish. This is still austere though no longer severe and it will require ample additional patience to allow it time to further flesh out and realize the huge potential the underlying material clearly has. A spectacular Montrachet that should age for several more decades if desired."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
