2015 Louis Latour Montrachet Grand Cru (Pre-arrival)

Wine Enthusiast 97 – “This opulent, powerful wine has weight, richness and a beautiful creamy texture. It’s built to age, from its wood aging to its minerality. Concentrated, it offers yellow fruits shot through with acidity. From the grandest Chardonnay vineyard in Burgundy, it will age well.”
Wine Spectator 95 – “Lean and focused, offering lime blossom, acacia, lemon cake, citronella and chalk flavors. Reserved and a little austere on the finish, not a bad sign for a quality young white Burgundy. Overall, this shows fine integration and potential.”
Burghound (91-94) – “A mild touch of exoticism can be found on the citrus and brioche-inflected pear and apple aromas. Once again, the medium-bodied flavors are not particularly dense or powerful but they are admirably finely textured on the superbly complex and lingering finish that is also relatively clean and dry. This too should amply reward moderately extended cellaring.”
