Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 96-98
The 2024 Montrachet Grand Cru comes from 75-year-old vines and comprises just one barrel this year. It has a very intense bouquet with citrus fruit, sea cave and oyster shell aromas, and just a very faint hint of praline. The palate is divine (like last year). Pure citrus fruit commingles with mango and wild peach. Quite an exquisite thread of acidity keeps this tensile from start to finish, fanning out like a Monty should. Yes, I did force myself to swallow a mouthful.
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2070

One barrel made. Not quite clear at the moment. The nose suggests excellent concentration, with a touch of vanilla to be sure but it is all in balance. It may not be quite right to say undemonstrative on the palate, but it takes time for the fruit to display. Agrumes, ripe apples, a thought of a peach but barely there, pretty good length. While not yet quite displaying the full Montrachet, I suspect that this will get there with considerably more time. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Oct 2025.
Anticipated maturity: 2032-2040
