  October 29, 2020 - Amane. My bottle (resulting in an amusing photo next to the 73(!) Leroy Perrieres), but a slightly underwhelming showing. Decanted for about 2.5 hours, as Montille's whites can be reduced and accounting for the 2014 acidity, but this may have muted it. There's plenty of acidity and cut, but it never quite fully came together - it wasn't quite precise enough for a really direct wine and didn't have the breadth or power of a Meursault 1er. That said, young Montille can often show a bit odd - I remember a dinner last year when we all (including Johan!) called a young Montille everything BUT a white Burgundy blind. The 2014 Corton Charlie was spectacular last year, and I think this will come around. Under DIAM, so I have no concerns burying the rest of these deep.

  August 25, 2020 - 2014 White Horizontal with Jasper Morris MW (Zoom!): Relatively pale colour. Quite a reductive nose, pretty tight on the palate too. Starts to show a bit more with some air, but it never fully opens. Aristocratic and reserved, with coiled power. Gorgeous lemon/lime finish. JM thinks it needs another year or two to knit together; I wouldn't be surprised if it takes even longer based on my sample - found it relatively hard going.

  July 25, 2019 - Excellent promise here. Quite young still but not punishing like many ‘14s. Classy juice with good mineralogy and verve. Perhaps a lower key expression of Perrieres than more famous producers but that’s to its credit. For best results would give it a few more years still.

  July 24, 2019 - Double blind. Clearlt high quality white burg. Nose is cool, minty, lemon and minerals. Great fruit. Cotton candy. Honeysuckle and florals. Palate is crisp and clean with great lemon and fruit and minerals and spices. A bit of oak but really integrated. Very salty on Finish. This is exceptional white burg. Was working on Puligny and went through producers, thought it might be Pernot but when that was nixed then suggested Meursault. Johan guessed Perrieres correctly but we couldn't get the producer. Many people thought 08 or 10 but I thought 12. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 17/20.
