The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru is striking, exhibiting even more texture and power than the benchmark 2020 vintage did at the same stage. Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnuts, white flowers, buttery pastry and confit orange, it's full-bodied, rich and layered, with incredible mid-palate volume and intensity. Large-scaled, textural and mouthfilling, it concludes with a long, expansive finish.

The 2022 Montrachet Grand Cru has a fresh, Granny Smith apple and sea spray-scented bouquet that gradually unfurls. The palate is well-balanced and vibrant, with superb weight, a taut line of acidity, and touches of orange pith and wild peach towards the finish. Excellent…but maybe I prefer the 2021?
