Robert Parker (96)

While not a blockbuster as it is only medium-bodied, Domaine Lafon’s 2001 Montrachet is a stunning, awe-inspiring wine. According to Lafon, “It is the best Montrachet we’ve ever made.” Spiced pears and vanilla can be found in its complex aromatics. On the palate, this oily-textured wine reveals sublime power, depth, concentration, purity, expanse, and class. Loads of spice-laden pears, candied apples, buttered toast, acacia blossoms, and well-defined minerals are detected in its flavor profile. Its sultry finish, which still bathes the palate in spices after a minute, is mind-numbing. Bravo!
