Tasting notes
Wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, white flowers, citrus zest, pastry cream and nutmeg, the 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru is full-bodied, ample and multidimensional, with a satiny attack that segues into a fleshy, layered, impressively complete mid-palate. Animated by racy acids and concluding with a long, resonant finish, it's a wine that lives up to this famed vineyard's reputation.

The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru which comes from purchased must that is fermented and raised at Girardin. It has a vivid bouquet with yellow plums, orange pith, Satsuma and a touch of linden. The palate is well balanced with a powerful entry, fine acidity although I feel that this does not quite match the complexity of the Montrachets that I tasted elsewhere on the finish. It is a fine Montrachet for sure, but it just needs more of the X-factor (or M-factor?)
