Tasting notes
For my sample, Mounier blended two barrels from the Chassagne and Puligny side together for his 2012 Montrachet Grand Cru. As you might expect, it is adorned with a very intense bouquet with powerful mineral-rich, citrus fruit infused with orange blossom and even quince. The palate is almost viscous on the entry with intense citrus fruit, touches of marmalade and orange rind, great persistence on the finish. Outstanding.

Strong iodiney minerality on the nose. Tactile, sweet and deep, conveying a rock-solid impression to its superripe stone fruit and smoky mineral flavors. A wine of great breadth, as well as the powerful underlying structure to support its pronounced sucrosite. This is 13% alcohol with about two grams of residual sugar. The longest of these 2012s today.
