Vinous (93-96)(just 34 hectoliters per hectare produced from vines dating back to 1937): Very reduced nose hints at celery seed. Hugely thick, ripe and deep; this conveys the fullness of a Montrachet. And yet this wine stands out more for its complexity and verve today, with its tactile mouthfeel accentuated by chewy minerality. The superb, slowly mounting finish stains the palate with beurre blanc and salted caramel. Has all the elements to make a monumental premier cru. |
