97 RP. "René Lamy's 1989 Montrachet displayed a huge bouquet of tropical fruit aromas, and in the mouth possessed enough glycerin to choke on. This unbelievably concentrated nectar had a finish that lasts over a minute. Lamy told me that the vines for his micro-quantities of Montrachet were planted in 1926, making this wine a product of true "vieilles vignes." René Lamy has made exceptional progress in quality since the mid-eighties and the 1989s were unquestionably the finest white burgundies I have ever tasted from his domaine."
