Tropical, lush and totally seductive, the 2015 Montrachet captures the purest essence of the year in lush fruit, soft contours and tropical inflections. Although it is very young, the 2015 is also incredibly alluring and full of character. I can’t wait to see how it ages. Tasted at the DRC Montrachet charity event in New York.

The 2015 Montrachet Grand Cru is exquisite. Bright and beautifully focused, the 2015 is immediately captivating. It is also very young, with just the first signs of early maturity coming through in the aromas and flavors. Lemon peel, white flowers, almonds and crushed rocks all grace the palate. For a wine that is nearly ten years old, the 2015 Montrachet is in fine, fine shape. This is a great bottle.
