Reminded that the generally more expressive Clos Du Bourg is preferred but this Le Mont is still delicious. Detail unnoted. — 4 months ago

Flowery nose becoming quite yeasty; very vinous with oversized bubbles and a broad palate with distinct apple fruit. Not trying to be Champagne and delicious. — a year ago

Light gold; reticent nose with pome fruits slowly coming on; bright grippy palate that’s a little hallow . . . this is tainted. Second bottle a 91. — 4 months ago

Light straw gold; nice nose of yellow fruits, even including dried apricot; ripe and rich in the fullish mouth with orchard fruit but barely enough acidity to be Chablis. — a year ago

9.6

Light gold with a hint of green; explosive nose initially flinty and smoky that then speaks of Puligny; rich, silky, round palate with ripe pit fruit and almost tropical notes with fine balancing acidity and finally a hint of oak. Impressive. — a year ago
