Tasting Notes
Vinous 95
The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is very intense on the nose. Beautifully defined and focused, with fleeting touches of orange pith and oyster shell, this unfurls beautifully. The palate is exquisitely defined, lightly spiced and powerful, yet paradoxically weightless. It fans out effortlessly on the finish, in spite of a bit of alcohol to contend with. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2070
Robert Parker 96
Aromas of white flowers, fresh peach, toasted bread, mandarin oil and pastry cream introduce Bouchard’s 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, layered and multidimensional wine that’s deep and concentrated, with racy acids, terrific mid-palate amplitude and a long, saline finish. Broad shouldered and powerful without being at all overbearing, it’s an exemplary rendition of this celebrated site.
