97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Montrachet was picked on 6 September at a respectable 37.1hl/ha. Lucid in colour, perhaps a little deeper than expected, it has a multi-faceted nose that you have to monitor over one hour. Hints of almond and butterscotch emerge at first, then salted caramel, pralines and peach skin. It is mercurial and utterly alluring. The palate is intense on the entry and immediately expresses a sense of vital...

The Story

The Montrachet family consists of grand five Grands Crus grown in the two villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. These two share the Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet appellations. Chevalier and Bienvenues belong to Puligny, Criots belongs to Chassagne. These Grands Crus are the most southerly of the Côte-d'Or, and lie between Meursault in the north and Santenay in the south. Their origins go back to the Middle Ages - the work...

Wine Information

2011: "Never more than this year - in spite of the some forty-six harvests I have experienced since my beginnings as a winegrower in Burgundy - have I felt and understood the importance of luck and gamble in the success or the failure in the face of a vintage".

At the time I am beginning to write this traditional report, trying to describe the broad outline of the vintage just after the harvest, the North wind that we had been expecting sin...

Vuosikerta 2011

Burgundy 2011

'We are beginning to get spoilt with all these fine vintages', said Lalou Bize in October 2011. 'We are very happy with our 2011s.' 'Much better than we had expected,' said Denis Bachelet. 'Lots of colour and fruit, together with good acidity and souplesse.'

Yes. It would appear that Burgundy has done it again. And if views are not quite as enthusiastic in Chablis and in the Côte Chalonnaise, at least in the Côte d'Or (and ...

We finished the flight with the 2011 DRC Montrachet, which was a bit tropical as well, almost ‘like the ’08 Coche,’ someone said. The palate was big and brawny but not very showy. It was a bit shy, rich but shy. I wondered if there were better bottles; I felt like it under-showed and was most certainly a surprising fourth place in this quintessential quartet (94).

While the 2012 Montrachet goes from being tightly-wound to exotic, the 2011, interestingly, follows a totally different trajectory over several hours. The first impression of unctuousness, with plenty of candied almond, citrus oil, white flower, mint and a touch of botrytis. Over time, the 2011 turns more delicate and understated. In 2011, the Montrachet is a wine of layers and pure sensuality. As in the past, the 2011 gives the impression of being a Montrachet that will reach maturity a bit earlier than some of the other surrounding vintages. I am also happy to see that this bottle does not show the slightly reductive quality that I have noted previously.

Pale yellow-gold. Very reserved nose offers licorice, wild herbs, anise, menthol and a whiff of meat; not at all a fruity style. Then silky and shapely in the mouth, with an impression of strong extract to the flavors of iodiney minerality, fresh herbs and vanilla. Not a honeyed style for this bottling. Finishes with excellent cut and citrus peel lift. Perhaps a bit light for this bottling, with a youthfully disjointed character calling for at least four or five years of additional cellaring.

A notably ripe nose displays hints of exoticism with its dried yellow orchard fruit, pear, white peach, pekoe tea and elegant floral aromas. There is seriously impressive richness, volume, concentration and power to the muscular full-bodied flavors that brim with palate coating dry extract. Interestingly the mid-palate is almost soft yet the explosive and hugely long finish tightens up quickly as the markedly firm acid spine shapes and infuses it with a sense of underlying tension. In terms of where the 2011 Montrachet stacks up relative to prior vintages of this storied wine, I would describe it was one of the more elegant examples that combines finesse with power. The typical Domaine's Montrachet requires 12 to 15 years to be at its peak yet the 2011 version is probably more in the 10 to 12 year range and thus should arrive at its peak a few years earlier than normal.

There is plenty of mineral character to the beautifully well-detailed, intense and delicious middle weight flavors that conclude in an impressively long and palate coating finish.

The Montrachet was picked on 6 September at a respectable 37.1hl/ha. Lucid in colour, perhaps a little deeper than expected, it has a multi-faceted nose that you have to monitor over one hour. Hints of almond and butterscotch emerge at first, then salted caramel, pralines and peach skin. It is mercurial and utterly alluring. The palate is intense on the entry and immediately expresses a sense of vitality and tension. This Montrachet is suffused with great weight in the mouth with subtle touches of orange peel, almond and hazelnut that ebb with time. It mellows in the glass but never dispensing with one iota of tension, yet seeming if anything to gain in volume. This epitomizes great Montrachet.
