In bottle (just a small lot – most to follow later). A stainless steel cuvée. Pale in colour, the bouquet is quite restrained. Just a few stones coming out. The palate is much cooler and the reductive element clearly comes through. Excellent persistence. Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted Jul 2023.

Crisp, cool and precise on the palate, there is plenty of sunny, ripe peach fruit, but also a strident line of acidity which is more to the fore at the moment. Needs a few months to balance out, but it will be a fine example of Montmains from a warmer vintage. The estate dates back to 1792.

Pretty floral notes add a touch of elegance to the aromas of smoky mineral reduction and white orchard fruit. The notably finer, though not denser, middleweight flavors manage to be at once generous but reasonably precise while deliver solid depth and persistence on the balanced and nicely dry finale. This is a wine that could easily be enjoyed young but also repay 4 to 7 years of cellaring.
