Tasting notes
Marc Colin's Montrachet is truly something special; it's all about Chardonnay and really showcases what Burgundy's all about. The 2000 vintage has aged beautifully, holding onto its charm all these years.
In Volume 18 of 'Drops of God', Shizuku presents this wine, likening its majesty to that of Mont Blanc. You can practically see the awe in his face—it's like standing before a natural wonder, so powerful and captivating.
Take a look at this wine, and you'll notice its clear golden hue. The aroma is wide open, offering ripe apricot and pear, with a whisper of buttery toastiness. Then, when you taste it, the rich fruitiness envelops you, creamy and smooth. The acidity is soft, perfectly balancing the whole experience, and the finish just lingers on and on. There's a mineral touch that adds complexity, making every sip feel like a new discovery.
For this Montrachet, a bit of chilling and a large glass will let you savor its intricate aromas and depth fully. Trust me, that's how you'll get the best out of it.
