The compelling 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of ripe pear and citrus fruit mingled with honeycomb, white flowers, fresh bread and baking spices. Full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, it's richly layered, with a textural attack that segues into an ample, fleshy mid-palate and a long, saline finish. Despite its scale, it remains beautifully precise. This is first rate.
Very impressive nose of Amalfi lemon, bergamot, tarte a l'orange and wild herbs. Very ripe and rich, but with a massive structure beneath all the richness. Built on a huge scale, but with excellent freshness. So much chalky power, and this makes it feel like a huge wave is pouring over you. So precisely balanced, with great minerality at the bold finish. From an 0.89-hectare plot. From organically grown grapes.
A pale lemon yellow with a faint lime streak. Very poised concentrated white fruit. Superb tension. So much more to this than any in the previous flights of hyphen-Montrachet Grands Crus. The fruit and oak are entirely integrated with a perfumed sandalwood aspect from the latter which enhances rather than competes. A little crème pâtissière. Joyous.
