The 2008 Montrachet Grand Cru is a vintage that I had not tasted before. Véronique Drouhin commented that the clement harvest weather saved the vintage, but it was a small yield with small berries that were high in acidity. The 2008 is showing beautifully at the moment. It has a fabulous bouquet of honeycomb, yellow flowers, crushed stone and even a touch of gingerbread. The palate conveys an effervescent quality, showing veins of orange peel and mandarin, and less mineralité than the 2009 but a fine saline finish. It improves in the glass, so do not be afraid to decant this. Tasted at the Montrachet vertical in London. Neal Martin1st October 2020
