Montrachet, Domaine Marquis de Laguiche, Drouhin 2006

Tasting Notes

As good and refined as several of the foregoing wines are, this is the clear class of the cellar with moderate wood notes framing a fresh, intense and airy nose that sports impressive aromatic breadth while merging into exceptionally rich and intense full-bodied flavors that possess seemingly buckets of dry extract which gives the finish a textured and naturally sweet character. A wine of power yet excellent energy and focus and this too is both quite primary and youthfully austere at present. A potentially great Drouhin Montrachet.

Very ripe but more classic aromas of pineapple, clove and stone; a bit less exuberant on the nose than the Batard or Corton-Charlemagne. Then large-scaled and fat but with less extravagant sweetness to its sexy flavors of pineapple and rocks. This boasts superb volume and length.
