Marquis de Laguiche Joseph Drouhin Montrachet 1999 is a medium-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Grand Cru climat of Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune. An owner of domaines including Domaine Marquis de Laguiche and the monopole of Clos des Mouches, as well as operating a hugely successful negociant business, the family-owned Drouhin is justly respected for producing such a diverse portfolio of Burgundy wines with such a clear signature of their terroir. Available here in magnum format is the 1999 Montrachet from Domaine Marquis de Laguiche. "The intensely spicy nose is still very fresh and only just beginning to reveal the initial hints of maturing fruit that remains impressively rich and expressive with toasted oak notes followed by big, mineral laden flavours and a finish that emphasize both green apples and ripe orchard fruits. There is a lovely purity here with beautifully elegant buffering acidity and a pronounced leesy quality. This should drink well young but age for a very long time but at the moment, it`s clearly still on the way up..." Burghound, 2006

The 1999 Montrachet Grand Cru is poured from magnum, the first in a flurry of wines commencing a La Paulée in Beaune. I find this a little spirituous on the nose, powerful, almost "burly" in style. I would have liked more mineralité to show through. The palate is actually better with impressive weight. This is a broad-shouldered Montrachet with a slightly oily texture and a dash of white pepper mixed with green olives on the finish. Fine, but just missing the pedigree of the best vintages.

Already looks golden and unctuous. Smoky nose. Very lively, pungent perfume combined with real substance and non-aggressive chew (as in a young wine with lots to give as opposed to the astringence of hard-pressed grapes). This one seems to have a very bright future. Confident, with lots there. Sleek, youthful with a smoky finish. (JR)Jancis Robinson4th November 2004
