Montrachet Grand Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Montrachet - the very word indicates the legendary status of Burgundian white wines originating in this historic terroir. On a slight slope and ideally oriented to the Southeast, this site warms quickly in the early morning sun, and its deep limestone infused soils ripen chardonnay to perfection. Precise and sensitive viticulture yields grapes which are then carefully vinified and aged in a manner which protects their progress into expressive wines.
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
Aromas of honey and candied citrus lead to a rich and expansive mouthfeel, with complex layers of fruit and earth flavors unfolding over the long finish and revealing floral and spice nuances.
