The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru (which incidentally Jacques was thinking about two cuvées from his two parcels) has a refined bouquet with lovely yellow flower and mineral scents that unfurl from the glass. This shows its class. The palate is very well balanced with a keen thread of acidity, hints of white peach and citrus lemon, very harmonious with an almost understated finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a very classy Montrachet.

Slightly cloudy pale yellow. More iodiney and closed on the nose than the 2015 version, offering citrus and menthol aromas. Then taut, saline and very dry in the mouth, displaying terrific lemony grip and a slight phenolic bitterness. Not as inviting in the early going as the Chevalier-Montrachet, this powerful expression of terroir has the texture and tannins of a red wine and will need extended cellaring. The yield here was 32 hectoliters per hectare, according to owner Edouard Labruyère.
