Description
Le Montrachet Grand Cru covers only 8 hectares between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. This particular area was known during the 13th century as 'Mont Rachas'.'La rache' in the Burgundian dialect is commonly known as ringworm, a skin disease that causes hair loss. This baldness gives its name to the bare and stony hillside, which grew only thorny bushes until vines were planted. The terroir of Montrachet is a notable exception because its brown soils, usually reserved for Pinot Noir, transform here the Chardonnay into one of the greatest white wines in the world. The east exposure captures sunlight later in the evening. These factors are critical to achieve optimal ripeness. Our grapes come from a parcel with an area of 0.80 hectares which extends from the top to the bottom of the slope in the central part of North Montrachet, situated on the Puligny-Montrachet side.

Wine tasting
Tasting Note
Montrachet 2007 is a wine of subtleties. Deep in color with light yellow accents, it unravels floral notes and vanilla essence on the nose. On the palate, there are toasted bread nuances. A broad, aromatically powerful, harmonious and delicate wine exhibiting fresh citrus notes. A wine of great finesse, the Montrachet 2007 will need a few years of age before reaching its peak. Tasted July 8th, 2009.
Food Pairing

Press review
Montrachet Grand Cru 2007

- Wine Spectator - February 2010 - 94/100
This is stripped down to the essence of place, offering an elegant, pure and precise expression of mineral, with hints of lime, apricot, floral and spice flavors dancing around the edges. The length is ethereal. Best from 2012 through 2025.
