Community Tasting Note

  July 18, 2021 - 2019 Droin 1er Crus side-by-side: Fourchaume, Montmains, Montée de Tonnerre.
  
  The Montmains carried an elegance and smooth operator finesse that the Fourchaume and MdT currently were unable to show (likely due to youth - especially the rambunctious Fourchaume). The yellow citrus, lemon zest, limestone, and yellow pear notes flow beautifully in a gliding execution, finishing with an elongated tail of lemon juice and meringue. Sealed with DIAM 5. Drink now or hold for a few years. Enticing now.
