Domaine Berthenet Montagny 1er Cru 2013

This wine offers everything you might expect from premier cru Burgundy - except a hefty price tag. Gorgeous aromas of citrus zest, pear, fresh cream and subtle toast and smoke echo wonderfully on the palate amidst complex flint-and-steel minerality. There's nice acidity giving lift to the mid-palate and finish and exceptional balance throughout. This will provide pleasure for a decade and beyond. (VINTAGES panel, Sept. 2014)
