According to Gerard Boudot, this estate’s winemaker, the 2001 Montrachet completed its malo-lactic fermentation as he was preparing to harvest the 2002s. Aromatically, this bold, rich wine bursts with spices and creamed pears. Lush, powerful, and deep, it expands on the palate, displaying intense pear, toast, anise, and mineral flavors. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2011. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
