Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, white flowers, citrus zest, pastry cream and nutmeg, the 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a satiny attack that segues into a fleshy, layered, impressively complete mid-palate. Animated by racy acids and concluding with a long, resonant finish, it’s a wine that lives up to this famed vineyard’s reputation.
Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.

The beautifully and unforgettable French region of Cote De Beaune has been revered throughout the centuries, and recognized as one of the key producer's of the world's finest white wines. The region is highly respected as an excellent producer of Chardonnay wines, and the Chardonnay grapes which grow there, on the southern slopes of the Cote d'Or, are packed full of the unique and powerful characteristics of this very special terroir. Interestingly, Cote De Beaune produces more red wine than white wine, despite its white wines being so famous. The red wines of Cote De Beaune are mainly made from Pinot Noir, but are relatively very light and fruity in their character, perfect for sipping on a warm, sunny day alongside a wide range of foods.

93-96 Hints of the exotic suffuses the fresh and ripe aromas of white and yellow orchard fruit, star anise, acacia, carnation and jasmine tea. There is a sense of generosity to the rich and caressing but quite powerful, even muscular, broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent punch on the strikingly lengthy finish. This is a very stylish and classy wine that is also packed with development potential.

91-93 The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru which comes from purchased must that is fermented and raised at Girardin. It has a vivid bouquet with yellow plums, orange pith, Satsuma and a touch of linden. The palate is well balanced with a powerful entry, fine acidity although I feel that this does not quite match the complexity of the Montrachets that I tasted elsewhere on the finish. It is a fine Montrachet for sure, but it just needs more of the X-factor (or M-factor?)
Winery Notes
A ripe nose, very profound and classy. The most alcohol, too and the thickest texture. Massive, long, pungent and persistent fruit. Very, very long on the palate, warm and intense. The flavors are bursting out and there’s amazing length on the palate and it finishes with a touch of salt. An amazing wine, and it stands apart from the others. The flavors continue on after you drink it. Killer.
