Neal Martin, December 2015, Score: 97
The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru is a completely different beast to the Bâtard-Montrachet. It delivers a payload of mineralité on the nose with intoxicating scents of lemon rind, limestone, white peach and a touch of walnut just brilliantly defined. The palate is extremely intense with perfectly judged acidity. This is a feisty Montrachet that is spicier than others that I have tasted in this vintage. It's a compelling wine that rivets you to the spot and it has an enormously long future. Bad news? Just one and a half barrels folks. Drink 2020-2042
Region
Le Montrachet
Le Montrachet is the most famous white Burgundy Grand Cru coming from a single 8 hectare vineyard which overlaps into the communes of Puligny and Chassagne. Even as far back as the 18th century the wines of Le Montrachet had to be reserved a year in advance - a distant precursor to the en primeur system. The south east facing vineyards give the vines maximum exposure to the sun which combined with the limestone soil produces epic results.
