2015 Le Montrachet

Bright pale yellow. Very reticent aromas of yellow fruits and spicy oak, plus a whiff of honey. Opulent, spicy and sweet in the mouth, conveying a seamless texture to the yellow fruit and spice flavors. The thick, slowly mounting finish delivers an impression of power but this Montrachet's impressive fat and early balance suggest that it should approach peak drinkability within five or six years after bottling.

The 2015 Montrachet was showing a touch of reduction on the nose, but it soon dissipates with attractive orange blossom, hints of marmalade and yellow plum. The palate is very well balanced with superb weight. This is a Montrachet that really delivers: very intense with great persistence, a twist of ginger towards the finish. This was certainly one of the better Montrachets that I encountered from this vintage and it has huge potential. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2020-2038
