1999 Maison Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche: Sovereign White Grand Cru

The 1999 Maison Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Grand Cru Marquis de Laguiche 750ml represents an immaculate, fully mature monument from Burgundy’s greatest hillside for Chardonnay. In particular, the Laguiche family owns the largest single parcel in Le Montrachet on the Puligny side, farmed and vinified exclusively by Drouhin since 1947. In addition, the celebrated 1999 harvest endowed the wine with towering dry extract, noble structure, and boundless cellar longevity.

Tasting Notes for 1999 Maison Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche

The wine opens with an opulent bouquet of poached orchard pear, Meyer lemon oil, orange blossom, and toasted brioche. Furthermore, captivating nuances of crushed chalk, hazelnut cream, white truffle, and subtle woodsmoke reveal themselves in majestic layers. On the palate, an unctuous, broad attack reveals extraordinary core density framed by laser-sharp mineral tension and vibrant acidity. Consequently, the finish echoes for over a minute with aristocratic power, saline cut, and sovereign Grand Cru persistence.
