The 2007 Montrachet pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with insane notes of ripe orchard fruit and a little tropical fruit too: peach, Meyer lemon, lime, even some orange along with starfruit, and passion fruit. There’s also honeysuckle, some nuts and OMG, don’t even get me started on the minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is forever long. The fruit and acid are in perfect balance. A wow wine in a line-up of wow wines. Drink now and through 2047.

Beautiful Meyer lemon, green apple, honey and a faint touch of butterscotch, thick and waxy, nice acidity, round and finished well but lack some on the mid palate. Indicative of the 07 vintage.
