Critic tasting note: (2019 vintage) "So grand and so refined, this is a breathtakingly beautiful white Burgundy that lives up to the reputation of this legendary site, which is certainly not always the case! So creamy and silky, yet so precise on the expansive but precisely proportioned palate. Very long, super supple and delicate finish that just doesn’t want to stop. Drink or hold." - James Suckling

- Le Montrachet Grand Cru covers only 8 hectares between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. This particular area was known during the 13th century as 'Mont Rachas'.'La rache' in the Burgundian dialect is commonly known as ringworm, a skin disease that causes hair loss. This baldness gives its name to the bare and stony hillside, which grew only thorny bushes until vines were planted. The terroir of Montrachet is a notable exception because its brown soils, usually reserved for Pinot Noir, transform here the Chardonnay into one of the greatest white wines in the world. The east exposure captures sunlight later in the evening. These factors are critical to achieve optimal ripeness. Our grapes come from a parcel with an area of 0.80 hectares which extends from the top to the bottom of the slope in the central part of North Montrachet, situated on the Puligny-Montrachet side.

This Montrachet 2019 reveals a beautiful and expressive nose with floral notes as well as brioche hints. The palate unveils layered aromas of exotic fruits, peach and citrus. Subtle, refined but yet powerful, this wonderful wine offers a very long and delicate finish.

Vintage quality: Good (Excellent)
Current condition: Will keep
Excitement around the 2019 Burgundy vintage is running high.
The winter was extremely mild but moved into a chilly spring, with April seeing biting frosts that cut yields in the Mâconnais. Flowering was uneven due to a cooler than average June and some bunches su...
