- Producer Notes
- Le Montrachet has its origins in the 13th century. The Cistercian monks were donated a few vineyards on " le Mont Chauve " or " Mont Rachaz " between Puligny and Chassagne. Over the centuries, Le Montrachet was nicknamed the "vigne blanche du Seigneur" or "Roi des rois". It is today considered to be the greatest of all dry white wines in the world. On extremely barren land, it is the very proof that the greatest wines often come from the most extreme growing conditions. In 1838, Bouchard Père & Fils acquired 89 "ares" of this unique vineyard.

Very Good
2006 Vintage Saved: 13-Nov-2020
Beautiful fruit and acid. Fully mature. Stone fruits, grapefruit. Long finish. Ever so slightly oxidised but adds to complexity rather than off putting. Have one left. Will drink in next 12 months

Vintage quality: Good
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2006 vintage for Burgundy was so-so, although some good wines were made.
