Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is a very pretty wine. Orchard fruit, tangerine peel, crushed flowers and mint open effortlessly in a creamy, open-knit Montrachet that will drink well with minimal cellaring. My favorite DRC Montrachets are those that have a strong voice. I think about the mineral-drenched drive of vintages like 1996, 2010 or 2014, or more opulent years like 1995 or 2008 that are marked by strong botrytis character. These are wines you taste once and remember for the rest of your life. The 2019 is attractive and delicious, but without the visceral thrill of the very best years.
