I can’t think of a better or more appropriate wine to bring the evening to a close than the 2010 Montrachet, a vintage that marries power and elegance like few before it. Dense and powerful in the glass, with tremendous textural richness, the 2010 shows remarkable transparency, with layers of citrus peel, crushed rock, slate, mint and dried flowers that build into the huge, explosive finish. Simply put, the 2010 is stratospheric. Tasted at the DRC Montrachet charity event in New York. (Drink between 2020-2035) - VM

A strikingly fresh, ripe and airy nose displays moderately exotic white and yellow fruit aromas where additional notes of acacia blossom, citrus, pain grillé, citrus zest and fennel hints can be appreciated. There is superb size, weight and detail to the broad-shouldered and breathtakingly concentrated flavors that completely coat the mouth with dry extract before culminating in a driving, precise, linear and impeccably well-balanced finish. There is so much volume that the underlying minerality seems almost lost but I suspect that it will become more apparent as this ages. Speaking of which, this will be a rare Domaine Montrachet that may not need 15+ years before it is approachable even though it's going to hold effortlessly for several decades.

NB vintage. Spiky wake-up call on the nose. Very crisp rather than rich. Masculine and meaty on the nose. A big statement. Very clean and neat. Lots of citrus and minerals rather than opulence. Rather less rich on the palate than usual. Though it’s 14% as usual. (Drink between 2017-2030) - JR
