There are nine barrels of the 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru, a broad-shouldered, powerful wine that offers up aromas of pear, white flowers, buttered citrus, and warm bread. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered, and fleshy, with a rounded, muscular profile and a long, resonant finish.
The 2009 Montrachet is a wine of contrasts. It is at once delicate yet powerful, and constantly changing in the glass, in the way only the best wines can. This is a cool, precise Montrachet endowed with tons of class and personality. It needs at least a few years to come together, but it is immensely promising. This is a very strong effort from Jadot.
The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has a much more nuanced bouquet than the Chevalier Montrachet, brilliantly defined but more conservative in some ways. It gently unfurls in the glass with touches of citrus peel, flint, and melted wax. The palate is supremely well balanced with perfect acidity, just a hint of honey floating in the background, but perhaps missing a little complexity and detail on the finish compared to both the Chevalier and the Bâtard.
The 2015 Montrachet Grand Cru has a potent nose with dried honey and blackberry leaf, orange blossom and cold stone developing in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, viscous, almost waxy in texture with decent weight on the finish, although this year the Chevalier-Montrachet is in possession of more personality and race.
The 2016 Montrachet Grand Cru has an intense bouquet with notes of flint, smoke, apple blossom and just a hint of dried apricot, well defined and seeming to expand with aeration. The palate is well balanced with an intense opening that fortunately does not compromise the finesse and elegance of this Montrachet. It almost sashays along, minding its own business, but the acidity is extremely well judged, and the finish shows superb precision. Excellent.
Aromas of crisp peach, mandarin oil, orange blossom and mint introduce the 2017 Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, ample wine with a broad, textural attack and juicy balancing acids, though it can't match the density or cut of the stunning Chevalier Demoiselles from Domaine fruit.
