Description

This wine shines with nobility, as it befits its provenance from the most extensive vineyard site (just about 2 hectares) in the illustrious Grand Cru of Le Montrachet. The palate displays a considerable block of fruit for the moment, with the detail as yet hidden. The quality shows in the finish, which stretches out to leave an incredible aftertaste of heady fruit and mineral purity. It is absolutely superb.
