Domaine Jacques Prieur
Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Blessed to have generous friends. '14 Montrachet started open and full bodied and actually got leaner and more focused with air. Had this wonderful menthol/flint, citrus/lemon thing going that was complemented by a honey/pineapple/ginger flavor, which reminded me of botrytis. After some searching, it sounds like Prieur enjoys a bit in his wines. Salty finish. Excellent stuff that has a ton of life left.

A restrained nose with wood poking out but not intruding. For Montrachet I found the palate to be on the lighter side but with excellent concentration and persistence.
