When the sky's the limit

I WAS reminded of all the past examples of Montrachet which I have had the good fortune to drink at a Château Latour vertical tasting recently. The introductory white wine was a Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet, by Drouhin - and in magnum too!

TASTING NOTES

Montrachet 1995 en magnum, Marquis de Laguiche, Maison Drouhin (July 23, 2015)

Pale yellow-gold, with a light fruity bouquet, both colour and bouquet belying its 18-year age. The maturity showed on the palate which certainly tasted of a more mature but light-textured wine, full of the taste of mixed nuts and lemon. The bouquet and palate became steadily richer and more complex as the wine developed in the glass. Most impressive.
