Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, Marquis de Laguiche, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
Golden fruit, sweet butter and a texture entirely of another order. Concentrated, deep, broad with fruit; peach, citrus, pomelo and hazelnut. Powerful yet composed – luxurious, stately, , with a base note of minerality that carries the fruit long on the palate. A wine of scale, dimension and mind-bending length.
critic reviews
Neal Martin,Vinous
The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) has a bright entry, citrus lemon, vervain and light crushed stone scents blossoming in the glass. The palate is fresh and tensile, focused and leesy in style. It gains weight and amplitude towards the finish which is exactly what you want from a "Monty". Again, this will fill out during the second winter in barrel. Simmers with sophistication.
