Goedhuis, May 2018
Tasted blind, Burgfest May 2018: In a strong line-up of Montrachets, this was my wine of the week at Burgfest. The nose had a heady intensity of fabulous fruit that played with a savoury iodine lift. Explosive concentration on the palate makes it already hugely appealing, although from the density and complexity of its layers, there is no doubt this has a long, majestic life ahead of it. This was electrifying.

Region
Le Montrachet
Le Montrachet is the most famous white Burgundy Grand Cru coming from a single 8 hectare vineyard which overlaps into the communes of Puligny and Chassagne. Even as far back as the 18th century the wines of Le Montrachet had to be reserved a year in advance - a distant precursor to the en primeur system. The south east facing vineyards give the vines maximum exposure to the sun which combined with the limestone soil produces epic results.
