"With twenty-five percent of the ownership of the vineyard of Montrachet, the Marquis de Laguiche family was very fortunate to have the frost damage more modest on their end of the vineyard in 2016. Still, a fifty percent crop loss is far from insignificant, but happily, it has allowed the Drouhins to produce a proper cuvée of the wine in this vintage and the results are absolutely stunning! The bouquet here is pure, vibrant and bottomless, with aromas of apple, pear, lemon blossoms, gorgeously complex, chalky minerality, crème patissière and vanillin oak jumping from the glass. On the palate the wine is deep, pure and full, with a seamless sense of structural beauty that is quite extraordinary. There is plenty of soil signature, a great core of fruit, bright, zesty acids and a very long, racy and complex finish that is every bit as worthy as the loft reputation of Montrachet at its finest. A brilliant vintage of Laguiche."
