The brilliant 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru soars from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnuts, orange oil, confit citrus, pastry cream and freshly baked bread.

93-96 A restrained and markedly spicy nose blends notes of ripe white and yellow peach with those of acacia blossom, rose petal and jasmine tea-like nuances. Once again there is a really lovely texture to the highly energetic broad-shouldered flavors that possess very good if not great density, but the mouthfeel is quite sleek and extends to the austere, balanced and precise finale. This is also exceptionally classy and beautifully well-balanced and should amply repay extended cellaring.

Two casks purchased as must from a large holding on the Puligny side of Montrachet. Here the grapes were picked very late, at almost 15% potential alcohol, and this is really extra-rich, with super-ripe apple fruit, spice and a floral note that is almost honeysuckle. Despite all this richness, the terroir is such that there is still enough freshness on the palate to bring the wine back into an elegant balance.

91-93 The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru comprises two barrels of purchased must this year. "There was incredible ripeness here, up to 15° final alcohol," Eric Suremain forewarned me. I have to say that this comes across on the powerful nose, which does not quite articulate the nuance of this legendary vineyard as a cooler vintage might. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity that maintains freshness. A heady and opulent Montrachet - for want of a better word, quite "fun" to drink - but is it a vrai Montrachet? This is not the only address in the Côte d'Or where I preferred the Bâtard-Montrachet.
Winery
This wine suggests butter and hot croissant, fern, dried fruits, spices and honey. The body and bouquet are no longer distinguishable, the structure and harmony merge into a perfect unity. Smooth and firm, dry and caressing, wrapped and deep, it possesses all the graces under an inflexible character.

Varietal: Chardonnay

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into – full of surprises, full of delights.

Region: Burgundy

The region of Burgundy has become synonymous with high quality red wines, but in actual fact the region consistently produces a wide variety of fine wines of many different styles, rigorously protected by French wine laws designed to keep reputations and quality at a very high level. The region benefits greatly from a warm and sunny summer climate, which, coupled with the excellent quality soils which typify the region, and centuries of experience and expertise, has led to the region being known all over the world for the excellence of its produce. The majority of grapevines grown here are of the Pinot Noir varietal, which has helped Burgundy become known as the definitive region for elegant and smooth red wines, but Chardonnay grapes and many others are also grown in abundance and used to make both still and sparkling wines.

Country: France

French winemakers are subjected to several laws and regulations regarding the wines they produce, and how they can be labeled and sold. Such procedures are designed to increase the overall quality of the country's produce, and also to ensure that wines made in each particular region or appellation are of a character and type which is representative of the area. Thankfully for consumers of wine world-wide, the French have a particularly high reputation to uphold, and seem to do so flawlessly. Every year, wineries from all over France produce millions upon millions of bottles of fine wine, making the most of their native grape varieties and the excellent terrain which covers most of the country. From the expensive and exquisite red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, to the white wines and cremants of central France, the French are dedicated to providing the world with wines of the highest quality and most distinctive character.

Appellation: Cote De Beaune

Anyone who knows anything about fine white wines, and especially fine Chardonnay wines, will surely tell you that there is nowhere on earth quite as impressive as Cote De Beaune when it comes to this particular grape varietal. This beautiful part of the Cote d'Or has been producing many of the world's finest Chardonnay wines for centuries, and their blend of traditional and modern techniques mean that their reputation has been upheld and maintained in the twenty-first century. However, it isn't all about white wine in Cote De Beaune, as the area also produces vast amounts of characterful and interesting red wines, predominantly made from the Pinot Noir grape. Cote De Beaune Pinot Noir tends to be lighter and fruitier than others, and absolutely delicious.
