Tasting notes
The 1990 Le Montrachet from Remoissenet was showing extremely well at 26 years of age -- a wine doubtlessly underestimated by those seeking "grander" exponents of this famous vineyard. The nose is exquisite with lemon thyme, freshly sliced Granny Smiths, an intriguing almost pond-like scent indicative of its age. However, there is plenty of freshness both here and on the palate, the sense of energy undiminished by the passing years, a pretty Montrachet that actually meliorates in the glass, gaining tension and mineralité over the course of an hour. This is simply excellent. Tasted June 2016.
