Domaine Baron Thenard
Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Intense gunflint and smoke. Really profound depth. Fat and dense with lots of potential for age. Underneath all the power, the acidity is laser-like.

Mar 20th, 20151987 Baron Chenard Montrachet. Showing strong visual signs of oxidation but actually quite lovely on the palate. Green apple and sharp minerals with a nice round mouthfeel. Not perfect but a great experience.

Jan 11th, 2015Wow. Shimeji mushrooms, asparagus, manuka honey on the nose and so much umami in a glass. I guess I just have expensive taste when it comes to Chardonnay

May 3rd, 2018A little bit yellower than Bouchard 2011, slim round, delicate and finesse, very soft. Later meaty, green beans, salty notes. 17 hours later, good acidity, gunflint and mineral, with hidden power. Full of potential. Great wine! 2017-05-06
