Scores + Notes
This is aromatically quite similar to the Demoiselles though it's presently much less expressive, indeed even brooding. The broad-scaled full-bodied flavors are markedly bigger, richer and more powerful with even more dry extract and an attractive sense of lift is provided by the solid minerality that really makes its presence felt on the saline-infused and impressively persistent finish. This is a big wine but not necessarily an especially big Montrachet though make no mistake, this is certainly no shrinking violet as patience will definitely be required. Tasted: Jun 11, 2013. Drink: 2021+
Allen Meadows, Burghound Score: 92-94/100

Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Vertical Tasting with Véronique Drouhin
