This is the third time that I have tasted the 2011 Montrachet Grand Cru from Drouhin (for Marquis de Laguiche), and it remains a knockout grand cru. Deeper in color than when I tasted it a couple of years ago, it has a vibrant, effervescent bouquet with fine mineralité, hints of white peach and fresh melon surfacing with time, even an unexpected mote of vanilla pod. The palate has wonderful balance, tangible entry and edge, with that hint of orange zest on the finish. This is a superb Montrachet that should give 20+ years of drinking pleasure. Tasted November 2016. - Neal Martin

There is still a touch of wood remaining on the beautifully complex and wonderfully elegant aromas of spice, floral and white orchard fruit. There is stunning size, weight and sheer punch to the imposingly scaled, cool and admirably pure flavors that possessed an opulent mouth feel before culminating in an explosive and hugely long finish. This is breathtaking in its intensity and should amply reward at least a 15 years of cellar time in magnum format. 2026+
