Montrachet--Vintage 2001
Côte de Beaune, M. Colin
"From vines averaging 90-years of age, harvested at 14.7 degrees of natural potential alcohol (15.2, a new record, was achieved in 2002!), the pear and talcum-powder-scented 2001 Montrachet is, as seems to always be the case at this estate, in an ungiving, restrained state when tasted at this stage. It reveals huge depth and a powerful underlying minerality, portending a great future, yet gives the taster only a reluctant glimpse. Medium-bodied, concentrated, and refined, this is one of the few 2001s that will require (and repay) patience. Drink it between 2006 and 2016." Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #147 (Jun 2003)
