Lovely fresh colour with little green tints. Exuberant fruit on the nose, and again in the mouth, backed by an excellent acidity, this is a complex, balanced wine that is very classy and has superb length.  Only 150 bottles produced but so good that we had to have some.

Nicholas feels that the saving grace of the 2013 vintage was the amount of small berries caused by millerandage. He has opted for minimum extraction but longish cuvaison. The white wines have not been stirred because they were rich enough naturally. They are expected to be bottled in December and will all be under DIAM corks, apart from the Grands Crus. The reds will be bottled during February.

The nose shows such concentration that it's hard to make out the detail but it is not only massively concentrated but really classy. The volume is sensational here and the acidity is lurking. This wine will continue to build during its remaining time in barrel and will provide a great experience of Montrachet in the long term.

The 2013 Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from the Puligny side courtesy of a cask purchased before malolactic, has a pebbly, slightly flinty bouquet. The palate is taut and linear, citric at the moment but terse and laconic on the finish. There is great tension and nervosité, but it needs to find more to say. There are no marks for the label and to be frank, I preferred the Meursault Perrières tasted just prior to this.

The 2013 Le Montrachet Grand Cru has a very reserved bouquet, a light marine influence coming through with aeration of shucked oyster shells and a smidgen of orange rind. The palate is fresh and crisp, compact, more austere than the two Chevaliers at the moment, with very laconic, tight-lipped finish compared to others that I have tasted. Let’s see...this is giving away zilch at the moment!

Le Montrachet is elegant and refined aromatically with complexity to the gorgeous and highly nuanced nose of dried flowers, spice elements and a broad range of both white and yellow orchard fruit scents.

There is superb volume and richness to the big-bodied and very serious flavors that are overtly muscular and also blessed with an abundance of dry extract that, in the same fashion as the Corton-Charlemagne, imparts a borderline chewy quality to the faultlessly balanced finish. What I find interesting about this wine is that it is at once openly decadent and opulent yet it remains beautifully refined. Whatever the magic, the key point is that this is most impressive.

Though Maison Louis Jadot dont own the vines from the Chassagne side of the vineyard, they certainly know what to do with the grapes. Wave after wave of fruit bursts across the palate and there is majesty throughout, especially in the aftertaste.

The old order changeth slowly at Maison Louis Jadot. Veteran winemaker Jacques Lardire is still very much in charge, but his eventual successor Frdric is starting to play a more prominent role. Dont expect a revolution, but a little evolution is doubtless possible. The acidity of 2010 very much suits the Jadot white wine style, while their fullish extraction of Pinot Noir has worked notably well in several red cuves such as the Volnay, Clos de la Barre which we have selected for the first time this year. Where the wines come from one of the various Jadot domaines we supply the relevant information in brackets.

Comprising two whole hectares, the fortunate Marquis de Laguiche has the biggest holding by far in Le Montrachet. This incredible wine starts quietly but then a sensational weight of fruit floods the palate, all but eclipsing anything that has gone before. The wine is perfectly poised, for all its power, but will need another decade before the thought of drinking it should even cross the mind. It will not be bottled until next summer.

Apples and orange flowers feature here and offer a certain opulence which is certainly not over the top. Dense, tight, multi-layered and with a feeling of ripeness, it is another stunning Laguiche Montrachet and there is undoubtedly no rush to drink it.
Jasper Morris MW, Berrys' Burgundy Director The lower sugar levels of 2011 suit the Drouhin style and most wines came in at no more than 12.5%, but with a good acid balance. A small percentage of stems were used in 2011, according to the Drouhin’s positive selection method, and grapes deemed worthy of whole bunch fermentation were chosen on the sorting table. We have added two new selections this year, a beautiful village Savigny and a new contract for Drouhin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze. The wines have put on weight in barrel and most will be bottled by the end of 2012. Look out for the very fine whites this year as well.

The pickers were sent into this vineyard on six separate occasions in order to pick the bunches at optimum ripeness and this extra work has clearly paid off. With a rich and seductive nose, Drouhin's Le Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche Grand Cru wine is incredibly complex on the palate, needing more time to come together of course, but nonetheless displaying an immense volume of fruit, with nicely judged mineral acidity and a truly stunning aftertaste.

No relation to the higher and stonier La Garenne, this is from a more prime elevation, between Champs Canet and Folatières on the mid-slope. This is from the Duc de Magenta estate. It’s fine and fresh, with a really good core of acacia and honeysuckle aromas. A little less rich than the 2015, but lively and expressive. Drink 2020-2025.

The house of Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 though the family had previously been vignerons in the region, acquiring their famous Clos des Ursules in 1826. The company is today run by Pierre-Henri Gagey, while Frédéric Barnier replaced veteran winemaker Jacques Lardière in 2013. Louis Jadot owns over 60 hectares of vineyard, many of them Premier and Grand Cru. Recent developments have included the establishment of the tonnellerie Cadus in Ladoix-Serrigny and expansion of the modern winery facilities on the Route de Savigny, with a new white-wine vinification centre completed in 2009. Jadot’s harvest ran from 25th September to 14th October, with conditions marked by cool winds and sunshine. For the whites, malolactic fermentation was blocked to leave one to 1.5 grams of malic acid. The idea is to use this freshness as a textural component to help the wines during their maturation, much like tannin in red wines. Jadot’s choice of Diam corks since 2011 has allowed a reduction in the level of SO2, lowering the level of reduction and also any sharpness that can evolve with SO2 and malic acid in combination.

The 2014 Montrachet Grand Cru has a gorgeous bouquet: very complex with scents of dried quince, citrus lemon, almond and minerals -- all set off with a very subtle reduction, à la Porusots 2014. The palate is very well balanced as you would expect, but it's the purity here that really makes the Montrachet, building in the glass to what is quite a feisty, bravura of a finish. There is a completeness and bewitching sense of harmony here, and though you feel duty-bound to analyze and intellectualize over this Montrachet, the devil inside is urging you to just drink it and enjoy its untrammeled deliciousness.
