EXTREMELY RARE 1989 MONTRACHET
ONLY ONE BARREL PRODUCED BY AMIOT-BONFILS IN THIS VINTAGE
Montrachet--Vintage 1989
Côte de Beaune, Amiot-Bonfils
"There are only 25 cases of the Amiot-Bonfils 1989 Montrachet - for the world. Unbelievably spectacular, it clearly rivals the 1989 Montrachets produced by the likes of Ramonet and the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. The nose exhibits a profound honeyed richness, the palate displays the very essence of Chardonnay, and the finish endures extraordinarily. It is nearly painful to drink, largely because the wine's rarity and price probably preclude ever seeing another bottle. For the handful of people who ever lay their hands on a bottle, it should evolve gracefully for at least 2 decades. The Domaine Amiot-Bonfils remains one of the most underrated producers of red and white burgundies. The range of 1989s I tasted with Amiot was the finest I have ever experienced from Amiot."
