Note di degustazione
The jewel in their crown, Drouhin’s Montrachet comes from five different parcels across the vineyard. The result is a remarkable Chardonnay that is evidence, if it were needed, of why this site is regarded as the pinnacle for the grape. The wine offers instant concentration. The nose combines spicy depth and sweet white peach with honey and brighter lemon, while the palate is deliciously fleshy and full. Generous it might be, but there’s a tight core here, with the wine yet to reveal everything it has to give. The finish is a journey – evolving through mineral and zesty tones to more savoury, spicy notes. A really gorgeous wine, with impressive balance.

The near-perfect nature to the nose suggests superb chardonnay. There’s a golden hue to the ripeness of the fruit, offering apple tart and fresh apples, together with undertones of stones, light vanilla and almonds. Medium-bodied with elegance and length, delivering energy and focus and subtle complexity. Hazelnuts and minerals at the end. Drink or hold.
Amazing that this is on the tasting! Very rich and friendly, with some leafy notes and a lovely balance between intense fruit and the Drouhin delicate touch. So smooth! So long! No hurry to drink this savoury star. (JR)
