The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru exudes an ethereal elegance, akin to vintages like 2001 and 2004, showcasing a preference for precision and freshness over opulent richness, with delicate hints of lemon confit, marzipan, white blossoms, and tangerine oil adorning this mid-weight Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, revealing its captivating transformation and enhanced beauty with each revisit and the passage of time in the glass during my tasting.
The 2020 Montrachet Grand Cru is elegant, airy and so expressive. It reminds me of vintages such as 2001 and 2004, Montrachets that favored precision and freshness over volume or exotic richness. Hints of lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers and tangerine oil all grace this exquisite, mid-weight Montrachet from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. I went back to the 2020 numerous times during this tasting and witnessed it open beautifully with aeration and time in the glass.
