93 AM. "from two tiny parcels of vines on the Chassagne side totaling only .09 ha planted in 1923 that have never been worked by tractor because the slope is so steep and thus the vines are worked only by hand. This too is planted entirely to le vrai chardonnay and the parcels are part of the old Dents de Chien vineyard that were included as part of Montrachet as a result of an agreement reached at Beaune in 1921; aged in 100% new wood. . .A backdrop of wood toast and vanilla mixes with impressively complex and dense floral aromas that are almost exotic and this exotic character continues onto the big, rich, sweet and vibrant flavor profile that possesses even better depth. This is clearly a serious wine with considerable power and reserve on the opulent and hugely long finish."
