Tasting notes
The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru from Laurent Ponsot has a pretty bouquet with vanilla and shaved almond sprinkled quite generously over the citrus fruit. The palate is well defined with orange sorbet and citrus notes, dovetailing into comely apricot and mango infused with spice. Perhaps I was seeking more persistence and depth on the finish, yet this remains a very fine Montrachet with more to give for those with the wherewithal to age 5-8 years.

Made from 2010 onwards. Very rich, majestic nose. Solid. Masses of matière and not much flavour yet but I’m confident it will get there. (JR)
