Tasting Notes

The nose is quite firmly reduced and the underlying fruit is entirely masked. By contrast the detailed and highly energetic big-bodied flavors are very fresh, vibrant and gorgeously textured with almost painful intensity before culminating in an explosive, palate staining and remarkably persistent finish. This is a complete baby at present with superb development potential that should age beautifully for years to come, indeed one that is going to require plenty of patience.

Score: 92 - 95

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2025+ 15 June 2015

There are three barrels of 2013 Montrachet Grand Cru since Laurent Ponsot has a second joint-venture that has expanded his production in this historic vineyard (though he did not divulge who with!) It has a touch of reduction on the nose but there seems to be good intensity underneath. The palate is very well balanced with nigh perfect acidity. Lightly honeyed with hints of brioche and walnut, it gradually builds toward a really quite effortless finish. After my cautious reaction to the 2012, this might be the better "Monty" from Laurent Ponsot. Excellent.

Score: 93 - 95
