2008 Montrachet, Marquis de Laguiche, Grand Cru, Joseph Drouhin, Burgundy

Description

The pickers were sent into this vineyard on six separate occasions to pick the bunches at optimum ripeness, and this extra work has clearly paid off. With a rich and seductive nose, Drouhin's Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru wine is incredibly complex on the palate. Of course, it needs more time to come together, but nonetheless, it displays an immense volume of fruit, nicely judged mineral acidity, and a truly stunning aftertaste.
