The bright light straw-colored 2002 Montrachet bursts from the glass with spices, white pepper, pears, and flowers. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and lush, its oily-textured character offers broad, ample layers of tangy apples, pulp-laden pears, anise, toasted nuts, and ginger snaps. This wine has superb depth, complexity, and length.
Offers explosive aromas and flavors of honey, pineapple and citronella, offset by vibrant acidity and a strong mineral note. The fruit expression is almost tropical, reined in by the underlying structure. A white of tension, complexity and terrific length.
