Domaine Baron Thenard Montrachet Grand Cru 2018, 750ml

Domaine Baron Thénard is one of the largest holders of vines in the famed Le Montrachet Grand Cru with two major plots in the southern, Chassagne-Montrachet, section of the climat. The Domaine was founded in the mid-19th Century, although the family reputedly had vineyard holdings dating back to the previous century. Until the earl 2000s, Baron Thénard had strong ties with the Burgundian négociant house, Remoissenet, which bottled much of its production. Today, the Domaine bottles much of its wines under its own label, although it has sold some portions of its production to other négociants in Burgundy.

Tasting note:

Fresh pale yellow gold colour with a light green inflection. This is followed by a delicious complex and balanced nose, with many layers, a clear sense of distinction, a burst of sunshine fruit at the front of the palate which is then maintained through to an even finish. Balanced and juicy with a long, perfumed aftertaste.
