“Not too shabby” was the turn of phrase used by the ever-understated Jasper Morris. To translate that from English to American: a superb Montrachet. It is noticeably light in color than the 2002 Perrieres, yet the nose is much more delineated and mineral-rich with a subtle marine-influence (freshly shucked oyster shells) that lend the aromatics intrigue. The palate is very well-balanced with outstanding minerality and precision. You barely notice the weight and presence in the mouth as it cruises to a sublime, orange-zest and hazelnut-tinged finish that lingers long. Not too shabby, in other words. Tasted September 2013.
