Lot #433. Marc Colin et Fils Montrachet 1996

"Brilliant winemaking from a Montrachet master. Like a perfectly choreographed ballet, all the pieces are in the right place, with superlative finesse. Subtle and supple, intensely mineral, coating the palate with opulent, ripe fruit and vanilla bean, spice, tropical and deftly created toasted oak accents. Long, harmonious, silky finish . . . . [Only] 50 cases made." Wine Spectator, May 31, 1998
