November 23, 2018 - This wine was good but certainly not great. A golden yellow hue with somewhat subdued notes of golden fruit, lime, with decent acidity and moderate finish. Personally, I think Peter Michael's chardonnays are far better for a fraction of the cost. Then again, it is fun to drink Montrachet and Batard-Montrachet wines from time to time.
December 9, 2017 - Saturday lunch with Eddie (Masseria, DC): Oxidized, considering the provenance, premoxed.
February 19, 2017 - Rain storms and burgundy (and rhone): A story of Favre's birthday in Los Angeles. (N/Naka): Nice weight and depth on the wine, showing more secondary flavors of earth and spice but with a good clean flavor of golden fruit
August 12, 2016 - I was initially concerned when this was poured, a deep golden color, however there were no signs of oxidation and this was a brilliant bottle of white burgundy. Incredible density and rich mouthfeel with a lingering finish. So nice to get a sound bottle.
June 24, 2016 - Looooooong finish, youngish but not too young, precise honey finish. Favorite of the flight.
April 22, 2016 - Nose quite advanced; palate still nice, but more advanced than it should be; not what I would expect for the pedigree
December 24, 2013 - Yellow color with little bouquet and a nondescript mineral flavor. No nuance, no depth, no soaring flights of fancy. I am struck by how different the descriptions of this wine are, albeit mostly very positive. Perhaps I had an off bottle, but I do think that too many people have bought into the Burgundy hype. For wine drinkers who wax eloquent about mineral notes in wine, Montrachet is not a wine that is supposed to have this characteristic at the fore. I have had superb Montrachet, but this isn't in that class. If you want to know what a great Montrachet should taste like, drink a Marcassin or Aubert Chardonnay, and pay a great deal less money.
December 21, 2012 - pop-n-pour; golden yellow; seems the provenance is not ideal; lime, spice, mineral, creamy butter and subtle floral on the nose; textured palate with good minerality and acidity; 20s+ finish
September 10, 2012 - Lieu-dit Cru "Blind White" Dinner Featured the Wine of Henri Boillot (L2O - Chicago IL): Tasted blind in a Montrachet flight. Slightly advanced aromas and flavors of apple and pear. Slightly lean, well textured, but short with a moderate finish. Somewhat lost sitting in between the amazing 1999s from Boillot and Girardin. Still not nearly as good as a great bottle (from the same case) I opened in January. Sigh...that's white Burgundy.
May 1, 2012 - Amazing line-up, one-word impressions only: This drank very well - brilliant structure, great presence
