This is also highly restrained and again the nose requires plenty of agitation to liberate the intensely floral and spiced aromas of various white-fleshed fruits and citrus. There is superb volume and concentration to the almost painfully intense flavors that are an inimitable combination of power and refinement while flashing strikingly fine length on the balanced finish. Not surprisingly this beauty is very backward at present and is going to require extended cellaring to develop its full and considerable potential.

A bold, dramatic wine, the 2015 Montrachet Grand Cru exhibits a rich bouquet of ripe peaches, white flowers, honeycomb and toasty new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ripe and almost unctuous, though it gains tension in the glass and concludes with an attractively chalky finish. There's plenty of depth and concentration here, and I suspect it will be more interesting with a few years' bottle age. - WK
