Description

Montrachet 2016
L. LeMoine
Bottle (1)

Wines from a 5 Star Hotel based in the Berkshires. All wines purchased through reputable distributors and stored in the massive, temperature-controlled on-site cellar.

"Bright yellow. Very shy aromas of pear, crushed rock and iodine; conveys an almost 2015-like ripeness without any loss of its Montrachet character. This brooding, thick, sappy wine began a bit shy but gained in vibrancy and definition with oxygen, conveying increasing purity. Dominated today by crushed-stone minerality and medicinal herbs, this reserve, utterly seamless wine is barely at the beginning of its evolution. Finishes with remarkable unflagging length. When I remarked to Mounir Saouma that there was something almost obvious and deceptively tastable about this wine, he responded that he still wanted it to develop a bit more volatile acidity before he racks the wine prior to the '18 harvest and then returns it to barrel for another couple months before bottling it." (95-98 pts. Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014)
