2022 Joseph Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet Grand Cru 750ml & 1.5L - 100 Points

The 100 Point 2022 Joseph Drouhin Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet Grand Cru is a stunning example of Chardonnay at its zenith, hailing from the most prestigious white wine vineyard in Burgundy. The world-famous vineyard's largest parcel (30%) has been in the Laguiche family since 1363 and occupies a massive 2 hectares on the Puligny side, sandwiched between Chevalier-Montrachet and Batard on the highest part of the (very gentle) slope. This iconic Grand Cru is managed by the historic house of Joseph Drouhin under the Marquis de Laguiche label, after a handshake between an ancestor of the Marquis, who was a colonel in the army at the same time as Veronique Drouhin's grandfather. In 1947 a deal was struck for Drouhin to make and distribute the wine on an exclusive basis. This beautiful Chardonnay showcases the extraordinary potential of the Montrachet terroir, characterized by its ideal south-southeast exposure and limestone-rich soils. Representing the pinnacle of elegance, complexity and precision, Montrachet Laguiche is swooned over by Burgundy aficionados everywhere and resides at the top of the Burgundy bucket list for most. Buy it when you see it.

 100 Points James Suckling - "An unusually bright, light-gold color with hints of green in it distinguishes this rare wine from the first glance before rich, layered and complex aromas lead to even richer poached pears, hazelnuts and cream on the palate. Full-bodied but light on its feet, the wine shows deft balance, great depth and incredible length on the finish."
