Burghound, May 2009, Score: 94
The barest trace of wood remains on the nose to frame the elegant, pure and almost airy white flower and green apple aromas that are beginning to display the initial signs of pending maturity that merge seamlessly into intense, powerful, brooding, thick, fantastically intense flavors that are wonderfully textured and stain the palate. This is quite masculine in style and the intensity does a slow but inexorable build from the mid-palate to an explosive finish. A flat out wonderful Monty that should last two decades with the proper cellaring though it should be drinking well relatively soon. Drink: 2010+.

Burghound, July 2002, Score: 93-95
This closely resembles the Cabotte on the nose with perhaps a touch more oak in evidence followed by intense, powerful, brooding, thick, fantastically intense flavors that are presently revealing little of their ultimate potential. This is wonderfully textured and between the ripe acidity and incredible intensity, it stains the palate so completely that I could taste this 3 hours later. Quite masculine in style and this does a slow but inexorable build from the mid-palate and the finish closely resembles the Chevalier as this is both crystalline in its purity and seems cut from liquid rock. A flat out wonderful Monty that should last two decades with the proper cellaring. Drink: 2010-2020.Comments: don't miss!

Corton Charlemagne
As legend goes, Charlemagne, king of the Franks, ordered Chardonnay planted in the vineyard of Corton during his reign in the 8th century so as he would not stain his light-coloured beard during moments of great thirst. This may be mere romantic fallacy, but what cannot be denied is the exceptional quality of this Grand Cru appellation in Aloxe Corton in the Cote de Beaune.
