Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils Le Montrachet Grand Cru 2014

"from a .89 ha parcel of Puligny vines. Though there is a hint of unabsorbed SO2 present on the otherwise expressive and actually quite elegant nose that features notes of lemon rind, spiced pear, white peach and plenty of floral scents. The serious and striking rich flavors are imposingly scaled as well as impressively concentrated and while obvious overtly powerful, they are also seductively textured before culminating in an explosive yet impeccably well-balanced finish. As is usually the case, this is a big but refined Montrachet that will require a full decade plus to arrive at its full maturity." 96 Points, Don't Miss - Burghound, Issue 63

"Hints of matchstick and petrol are present on the restrained but elegant nose that features notes of lemon rind, tea, spiced pear, white peach and acacia blossom. The serious and strikingly rich flavors are imposingly scaled as well as impressively concentrated while delivering overt power on the minerally and impeccably well-balanced finish. Not surprisingly at barely 5 years of age, this is still very much a work in progress and I wouldn't touch another bottle for at least 6 to 8 more years and the '14 Montrachet may well require 15 years of cellaring before it realizes its full, and considerable, potential. Lovely stuff." 96 Points - Burghound, Tasted 03/03/2019
