The Montrachet, has an unbelievably refined and penetrating nose of candied nuts, flowers, and liquid minerals. This extraordinarily elegant offering has awesome balance, richness, and a profound depth to its tightly wound personality. Vibrant minerals, crisp pears, and stones are intermingled with flavors reminiscent of pineapple Life Savers in this medium-to-full-bodied and velvety beauty. It is spiritual, superbly focused, and magnificently precise. The vast majority of 1997 white Burgundies will have long passed into oblivion when this great wine reaches its peak of maturity Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012+. Bravo!
