Tasting notes
Rich and demonstrative, the 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with aromas of pear, orange oil, freshly baked bread and honeycomb. Full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's ripe and open-knit, with a textural, enveloping profile and a saline finish.

The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru amounts to just one feuillette this year, less than 150 bottles. Crushed limestone and a touch of struck flint on the nose, tight and a little introspective at first, though it opens up with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening. Good depth, missing a little tension towards the finish that just needs more persistence. Very fine, although I prefer Chartron’s Chevalier-Montrachet (Comme d’habitude.)
