Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2023 Montrachet Grand Cru is broad and dramatic, bursting with aromas of peach, white flowers, honeycomb, nutmeg and vanilla pod. Full-bodied, layered and unctuous, with a fleshy, enveloping core of fruit that's girdled by lively acids, it's a terrific wine that wears its heart on its sleeve.
