FINE WHITE BURGUNDY OF THE EXCELLENT 1992 AND 1996 VINTAGES
Lying in Stevenage, Hertfordshire
Le Montrachet Grand Cru--Vintage 1992
Domaine-bottled: Baron Thénard, Remoissenet
Tasting Note: Remoissenet enjoys a well-deserved reputation for his white wines. There is a tendency at this estate to block the malolactic, keep the wines off their lees, rack them frequently, and bottle them after a relatively vigorous filtration. The fact that so much remains in the wines makes one wonder what they would be like if they were not manipulated so much? The 1992s all reveal ripe fruit, higher acidity than most white burgundies (remember, the malolactic was blocked), and laudable purity. The 1992 Le Montrachet from Baron Thenard is impressive, but shy and understated when compared to Remoissenet's Corton-Charlemagne and Batard-Montrachet. It possesses the component parts to last for 10-15 or more years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 89, October 1993.
