I 'ad the pleasure this afternoon to sip on a 2017 Les Preuses from Dauvissat, and now this wine! And truth be told, this one was more enjoyable to drink than the Les Preuses! I'm convinced that over time, Dauvissat will triumph! The Montée had a tad more richness on the palate and was already better balanced, with a lovely acidity lingering at the end of your palate! On the nose, it boasted that citrus purity alongside a hint of resin that blended beautifully! The palate was also lengthy, though not as lengthy as Les Preuses, but for drinking now, give me the Montée any day!

1 time i karaffel. Sitrus, eple, melon, smør, flint, yoghurt, kritt og salt sjøsprøyt. Lett korpulent i munnen, med frukt på den gule siden og medium minus syre. Sentralburgundersk fedme med sjøsprøyt. Topp til skatevinger med kapers og hollandaise.

Exiting nose with green apple, touch of melon, some smoke and flint. Intense and weighty palate, thats fresh and oily with a lot of lemon and also fine acidity. A pretty long finish, but also a little to much bitterness today. But really great.

This will clearly be upscored in a couple years, but this is where it is today. I don’t plan to open any of these for at least another year. Likely two. 13%
