Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2024
Very fine grained and well defined on the nose. A Montrachet with fabulous lifeforce to it, such definition and class. Layered, long, very precise yet also with some flesh that offers a feeling of deep, long, golden, shimmering, brilliance. The finish here is really quite something. But there’s also torque and layered complexity. There’s an enormous amount to comprehend, tightly packed into a very steely core of intensity.
critic reviews
The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises four barrels this year with one new, this coming from the Chassagne side of the vineyard. There was a bit of reduction on the nose here and perhaps because of this it did not quite translate the same degree of charm as the Bâtard-Montrachet. The palate is fresh on the entry, quite strict and linear. Lemon zest marks the finish to this Montrachet but it does not quite engage in the same way as Sauzet's best 2024s.
