Lot #438. Joseph Drouhin (Maison) Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche 1992

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 94 AM.
By the usual standards of the Drouhin Montrachet, this is an unusually powerful with absolutely no botrytis notes and beautifully delineated, very rich, very ripe orchard fruit aromas and noticeably toasty oak notes. The flavor profile is full-blown yet there is lovely detail with a lovely underlying band of minerality which helps balance off the delicious, still vibrant, wonderfully long finish. For some time I thought this was the best Drouhin Montrachet of the '90s but the '96 may very well surpass it. Multiple and consistent notes. Allen Meadows, Nov 18, 2011
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
Notes: 2cm, lightly corroded, lightly scuffed capsule, nicked, very lightly scuffed vintage neck tag, partially torn, very lightly scuffed, very lightly bin soiled label.
