Vibrant layers of exotic fruit, smoke, spices, honey and licorice flesh out in the 2010 Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche. Simply put, the 2010 is rich, dense and strikingly beautiful from the very first taste. There is a deep sensuality and allure about the 2010 that are simply compelling. This is another fabulous showing from Drouhin.

(14.6% alcohol; still a bit of malic acidity remaining): Medium yellow. Ripe peach and apricot dominate the nose. Fat, sweet and seamless, with an almost exotic fruit quality nicely countered by sound ripe acidity (the finished wine will have about 4.4 g/l acidity). Large-scaled but also subtle and harmonious wine that conveys a strong impression of sweetness. The grape sugars mounted quickly due to millerandage, noted Drouhin. This is a wine of impressive size but I find the Corton-Charlemagne more representative of the 2010 vintage.
