| Description: | 97 Vm / 94-97 Bh / 17+ Jr. The 2020 Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru is consistent with my previous tasting in January. Exquisite definition on the nose, real mineralité here. The palate is intense and penetrating, touches of orange zest and spice building wonderfully towards the finish. Excellent.--Neal Martin, Vinous Media. The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru (Marquis de Laguiche) has a complex bouquet with orchard fruit, crushed rock, orange blossom and light liquorice scents in the background lending a touch of exoticism. The palate is very well balanced with great depth and dimension. Perfectly judged acidity, quite powerful on the finish, this is a multilayered Montrachet that will require several years in bottle. Love the flintiness on the aftertaste!-- Neal Martin, Vinous Media. Here the wood treatment is no longer subtle though it stops short of fighting with the wonderfully broad-ranging nose of lemon confit, jasmine tea, acacia blossom and an abundance of spice elements. There is superb density and almost painful intensity to the palate staining big-bodied flavors that deliver massive persistence on the perfectly balanced finale. This strikingly pretty Montrachet is indisputably constructed for the very long haul, and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least ten years. In sum, this is a stunning wine of class and grace. - Allen Meadows, Burghound. Cask sample. Amazing this is being poured, considering the price! A tad too cool admittedly. Tingly and rich but it's just a bit too tight to see its real qualities, which are probably there but a bit buried at the moment. Long though! - Jancis Robinson |
