The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is promising, bursting with notes of pear, white flowers, citrus oil and toasted bread. Full-bodied, ample and layered, it's satiny and concentrated, with fine depth at the core and chalky grip on the finish.
With its bright pale gold hue, this Montrachet Grand Cru 2018 offers a complex nose of grilled bread, yellow fruits, honey, and acacia notes. With amplitude on the mouthfeel, it has fresh almond and yellow fruits aromas on the palate. The freshness on the finale offers a nice aromatic persistence.
The 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with notes of ripe, smoky orchard fruit, mandarin, and a generous framing of classy new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad, and layered, with good depth and structuring extract that frames its ripe, gourmand core of fruit, concluding with a saline finish. This is a promising but comparatively extrovert offering.
This opulent, powerful wine has weight, richness, and a beautiful creamy texture. It's built to age, from its wood aging to its minerality. Concentrated, it offers yellow fruits shot through with acidity. From the grandest Chardonnay vineyard in Burgundy, it will age well and be ready to drink from 2026.
The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has an attractive bouquet like the Criots Bâtard Montrachet with a touch of spearmint infusing the citrus fruit. This has satisfying intensity. The palate is rounded on the entry that rather detracts from the tension and energy of this Montrachet. Like Louis Latour's other 2014 whites, it just lacks complexity and minerality towards the finish, just a dab of ginger lingering on the aftertaste.
