1959 Bouchard Père & Fils Montrachet Grand Cru

Bouchard's 1959 Montrachet Grand Cru is a serious, structured wine, offering up aromas of confit orange, buttered toast, iodine and smoke, followed by a full-bodied, broad and powerful palate that's dense and intensely concentrated, with lively acids and chalky extract that render it far from the fat, fruity wine one might expect in a vintage such as this.
