Written Notes
It was in 1963 when Henri de Villaine’s business partner Henri Leroy persuaded him to buy a plot of land of 0,342 ha in the ‘new world’ for him. This ‘new world’ was on the other side of the Beaune in the Chassagne-Montrachet district. This plot was located in the highly esteemed Le Montrachet vineyard. Having only made red grand cru so far, this opened a new fascinating world of white wines to Henri de Villaine. Encouraged by the potential, Leroy and de Villaine acquired a second plot of 0,171 ha already in 1965.
In the following growing season of 1966 both men were slightly worried after a difficult beginning. First they had spring hail and then a very poor start for the summer. Nevertheless the growing conditions improved, and the harvest was carried out in very good conditions.
All three bottles we opened were faultless. Decanted for one hour. A youthful light, golden colour. This is a fantastically vibrant wine. Wide and open nose of lemon, toast and butter layered over exotic fruit and truffles along with a layer of honey and spice. Astonishing concentration and length, giving this wine a strong presence. The wine's viscosity and extract level are unbelievably high. Beautiful to drink now, it should last for a decade or more. Perfectly balanced and structured with one of the longest and purest finishes one has ever experienced.
