Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Chevalier Montrachet Grand Cru 1998
Puligny Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceThe one vineyard that can rival Montrachet in greatness. Very open and complex nose with ripe apple, pear, floral, citrus blossom aromas. Rich and round with good acidity, fine intensity of flavours including ripe apple, spicy, vanilla, toasty lees, mineral flavours with a persistent buttery, melon, and peach aftertaste. Dry, tight finish with firm acidity. This has very good ageing potential over the next 3-5 years.Tasted: 01 September 1999Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $199.00 | 750ml | Speculative - Grady Wine Marketing |
