Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2023
A seductive, rich, and very silky wine but take a peak below the surface and there is a lot going on. This oozes across the palate with flavours of wild honey, minerals, roast nut, yellow fruit and hints of dried violet. Unctuous but the flavours unfurl and echo on the mammoth finish.
critic reviews
The 2023 Montrachet Grand Cru showed a little more cloudiness in the glass due to the lees (of course, they will disappear once racked). Perhaps the nose is a little primal as a result—it's not as complete as the Bâtard or the Bienvenues. The palate is more indicative of where this Monty will be heading. It has intense, immense weight with an almost pixelated mineral-driven finish. This is going to be a great Montrachet, but it might take longer to reveal its true identity. Only six barrels were produced this year.
