Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey
Monthelie Chardonnay
Monthélie, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Such a value play. Nose is super wide and wonderful. Like a baby Meursault. Buttery, nutty and rich. But also tensile. Mineral and super expressive. Such a nice combo of richness and airy minerality. Palate is just bomb. Elegant, tensile and rich. Awesome purity and freshness and great sap. Really focused and delineated. Lovey mineral and grippy finish. Terrific.
As this aired the oak became a bit more prominent. 9.2 now. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
9.2 to 9.3 overnight. Rich, buttery and a bit woody. But lovely mineral clarity and purity. Lemon. So good today. It’s all there. Good freshness, density and concentration. Long finish.
