Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95
Sumptuous and dramatic, Bouchard’s 2018 Montrachet Grand Cru bursts with aromas of honeyed peaches, toasted nuts, white flowers, orange oil and fresh bread. Full-bodied, textural and enveloping, it’s satiny and gourmand, with lively acids and a rich, expansive finish. If this year’s Cabotte is more tightly wound and incisive, the Montrachet is irresistible for its power and scale.

A chalk-led mineral nose with no obvious fruit character. Pure crystalline attack with a brittle mouthfeel and a rounded fruit character. A baby but really has elegance and great structure. (AC)
