Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni
The 2002 Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche was almost as impressive, although stylistically it was quite a bit more honeyed, voluptuous and creamy.

The 2002 Montrachet Grand Cru, a vintage that I had never tasted before, shows extremely well. It has an intense, multifaceted bouquet that offers compelling aromas of dried honey, white flowers and a French patisserie aroma, all beautifully defined. The palate has the weight and density one expects from a Montrachet. It feels very harmonious, with a spicy front end and a persistent, oyster-shell-tinged back end. This is a very convincing Montrachet that appears to be aging with real style. Tasted at La Paulée in Beaune.

Reticent nose suggests pear, tropical fruits and smoky oak. Bigger and broader than Drouhin's regular Chassagne villages, with notes of smoke, iodine and stone. Fat and full, but firm acids and solid minerality give this very young and rather unforthcoming wine good grip.
