"The 2010 Montmains was bottled in early September. This is primarily Butteaux fruit, which gives it a bit more amplitude from the riper fruit tones that Butteaux typically attains, which coupled with the stunning minerality of the 2010 William Fèvre lineup makes for a very exciting wine. The wine offers up a superb nose of apple, lime, ripe pear, complex, chalky minerality, lime zest and apple blossoms. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and very, very minerally in profile for a Montmains bottling based so predominantly on Butteaux fruit. The finish is very long and racy, with great focus and cut. A beautiful bottle in the making."
