The 2016 Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet is a powerhouse, displaying extraordinary tension and density. While the colour has deepened to a richer yellow, the nose reveals intricate layers of lemon verbena, lemon cream, and acacia blossoms. Subtle barrel spice adds a judicious touch. The mid-palate is remarkably broad and zesty, delivering an explosion of flavours. Intense chalky dry extract and powdery minerals contribute to a palate that, at times, overwhelms the senses. Despite its age, there is a noticeable undercurrent of nervous energy and tension, making this a truly dynamic and complex expression.

The 2016 Montrachet Grand Cru has a lucid silvery sheen. The bouquet is quite generous, offering scents of brioche, white peach and almond, all well defined and gaining intensity in the glass. The concentrated palate features notes of peach skin and ginger and a hint of caramelized pear. Quite a feisty Montrachet with a spicy, persistent finish. The crop was reduced 50% by frost, and you can feel the concentration here. Excellent. Tasted at the Montrachet vertical in London. Neal Martin1st October 2020
