Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Neal Martin
The 2014 Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru was picked on September 18 and 19, and spends 14 months in cask. It has a rich, quite audacious bouquet with scents of clear honey, dried apricot, white chocolate and even a licorice-tinged nose that I don't feel has the finesse of the 2014 Corton-Charlemagne. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of spice on the entry, rounded in the mouth with Meursault-like walnut and hazelnut, spicy on the long finish but never quite developing the mineralité that I was expecting. I would actually prefer to re-taste this before offering a mark.

Clarity reminiscent of a mountain stream here. Aromas of flowers, light apples, lemons and hints of hazelnuts. Subtle. Full-bodied yet agile and so energetic. Dense and tight with superb depth and length. Very, very long. Such harmony. Perfect now but perfect later. It's just a great wine.
