Montrachet 1999 75cl

Explosive white. Impressive fat texture in this full-bodied, opulent Chardonnay. Cascades with toasted oak, caramel, mineral, tropical fruit and lots of smoky oak. So powerful; let it settle down a few years. Best from 2005 through 2015. 119 cases made

Lafon's 1999 Montrachet is one of the vintage's few blockbuster. Boisterous flowers, minerals, and pears can be discerned in its explosive aromatics. Medium-bodied and impeccably delineated as well as nuanced, this rich, broad, and opulent wine is exceptionally refined. Satin-textured and loaded with stones, pears, apples, toast, hints of creme brulee and vanilla bean, this is a powerful, harmonious, elegant, and complete wine. Its majestic finish displays buttered pain grille as well as a myriad of spices. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
