2009 Le Montrachet

The 2009 Montrachet Grand Cru glistens in the glass, a silver sheen, almost iridescent. The bouquet is an absolute knockout: razor-sharp precision, pristine mineralité , seamlessly integrated oak with scents of lime flower and lemon curd. Curiously, it reminds me of a Meursault Perrières from Jean-Marc Roulot! The palate does not disappoint. It is beautifully balanced with perfect acidity. It feels tightly coiled with bound up energy to the point where you almost forget it celebrates its tenth birthday next year. It epitomises everything great about both this vineyard and the domaine. Brilliant. Tasted at Empire restaurant in Hong Kong.
