Parker about Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru 1996

As is always the case with this negociant house, the Montrachet Marquis De Laguiche is given a longer elevage than any of the other white wines. The 1996 promises to be a stunner! Massively rich but precisely defined minerals, grilled hazelnuts, and toast engulf the nose. The impressive aromatics are followed by an awesomely complex, wide, broad-shouldered, tart, tightly-wound style of wine. As its minerals, toasted almonds, and notes of tropical fruits saturate the palate, they appear to grow in power and focus with each passing second. Intense, super-concentrated, highly-extracted, yet pure and steely, this Montrachet demands patience. I recommend holding it at least until 2005, and it should certainly evolve magnificently through 2015 given proper cellaring conditions.

Produktbeschreibung

Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru 1996


The Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru 1996 is an exceptional white wine from Burgundy, France. It comes from one of the world's most famous vineyards, the Montrachet Grand Cru, and is produced by the esteemed Joseph Drouhin winery. This wine represents the highest expression of Chardonnay, revealing all the splendor and complexity this grape variety can offer.

In the glass, the Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru 1996 presents a clear, golden yellow color, reflecting its maturity and concentration. The bouquet is intense and complex, characterized by aromas of ripe citrus fruits such as lemons and grapefruit, as well as white peaches and pears. Added to this are floral notes of white blossoms, a fine minerality, and a hint of honey and toasted almonds, which emerge from the aging in oak barrels.

On the palate, the Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche 1996 is exceptionally harmonious and powerful. The lively acidity lends the wine freshness and structure, while the rich fruit flavors offer impressive depth and complexity. The texture is creamy and full-bodied, with elegant hints of butter, vanilla, and subtle spices. The finish is long and finely nuanced, with a pronounced minerality and a hint of salinity that beautifully round off the tasting experience.

This Montrachet already demonstrates remarkable maturity and enjoyment, but also has the potential to develop further with further ageing. Its complexity and multifaceted character make it a perfect accompaniment to refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, fine poultry, and fine cheeses.
