A show-stopper, the creme brulee, vanilla, and mineral-scented Montrachet is immensely ripe, extremely elegant, and well-structured. This medium-to-full-bodied wine offers powerful mineral and spiced pear flavors as well as an oily texture, and a long finish. It is rich, deeply flavorful, and forward. Projected maturity: 2001-2006.
