1985 Le Montrachet

Unfortunately the 1985 Montrachet Grand Cru from Domaine des Comtes-Lafon did not meet expectations. Maybe an unrepresentative bottle? I hope so. It felt fatigued and slightly oxidative on both the nose and the palate. I was willing it on, hoping that it would respond to aeration like the 1971 Montrachet in Hong Kong one time. In fact, it seemed to deteriorate, maybe miffed that it was totally outclassed by Germain’s Meursault. Oh well.
