98 JG. "The 2007 Lafon Montrachet is everything one would expect in this superb vintage, as the wine offers up a gloriously complex and ethereal nose of apple, pear, passion fruit, tangerine, buttered almonds, pastry cream, white flowers, great minerality and vanillin oak. Did I mention that the wine was complex? On the palate the wine was deep, full-bodied and very pure, with supreme elegance, great focus and breed and a hauntingly long, snappy and utterly seamless finish. Glorious wine."
