Montrachet Grand Cru 2009
Montrachet Grand Cru 2009 Region Côte de Beaune Appellation Montrachet Grand Cru Village Puligny-Montrachet Grape variety Chardonnay The Vine Vinification & Ageing Average vine age 40 years Fermentation Traditional in oak barrels with complete malolactic fermentation Soil Chalk, gravel, limestone Ageing Average yield 10 to 12 months ageing in oak barrels, 100% 35 hl/ha new Harvest Hand picked Barrels Louis Latour cooperage, french oak, medium toasted Description Le Montrachet Grand Cru covers only 8 hectares between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne- Montrachet. This particular area was known during the 13th century as 'Mont Rachas'.'La rache' in the Burgundian dialect is commonly known as ringworm, a skin disease that causes hair loss. This baldness gives its name to the bare and stony hillside, which grew only thorny bushes until vines were planted. The terroir of Montrachet is a notable exception because its brown soils, usually reserved for Pinot Noir, transform here the Chardonnay into one of the greatest white wines in the world. The east exposure captures sunlight later in the evening. These factors are critical to achieve optimal ripeness. Our grapes come from a parcel with an area of 0.80 hectares which extends from the top to the bottom of the slope in the central part of North Montrachet, situated on the Puligny-Montrachet side. Wine tasting Tasting Note Pale yellow, this Montrachet has a floral nose. Still discreet but complex, it hints at its great future to come. On tasting it yields more, it is generous and the oak is present but harmonious. Great structure in the mouth.

Le Montrachet Amiot Tech Sheet
DOMAINE GUY AMIOT ET FILS LE MONTRACHET GRAND CRU The Domaine Amiot was founded in Chas- sagne-Montrachet in 1920 by Arsene Amiot when he acquired select parcels of vines or “climats” in Chassagne including Vergers, Caillerets, Clos St. Jean and in what is today Le Montrachet. Under Aresene, Domaine Amiot became one of the first domaines in Burgundy to bottle their own production. In the 1930’s the domaine passed to Aresene’s son, Pierre, who continued to add top sites such as Champsgains, Macherelles, Maltroie and their tiny parcel in Puligny, Les Demoiselles. Pierre’s son, Guy, took the reins in 1985 and solidified the reputa- tion of the domaine for producing wines of exceptional quality from an impressive array of top vineyard sites. Guy’s son Thierry took over the winemaking in 2003 and continues the tradi- tion of expressing the unique character of each vineyard site while constantly seeking to improve the quality of the wines. Region: Burgundy Appellation: Le Montrachet Grand Cru Owner: Thierry Amiot Established: 1920 Farming Practices: Sustainable Soil: Active limestone, with exposed bedrock Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay Vineyard: 8.56 ares Age of Vines: 97 years old Yield: 25-30 hl/ha Avg. Production: 360 bottles Vinification and Élevage: Grapes are harvested and sorted carefully. Fermentation takes place in 100% new French oak barriques, followed by judicious bâtonnage (lees stirring), followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Aging is barrique. After 12 months, all barrels are assembled in tank, allowed to integrate for 6 months, then bottled. Le Monrachet: Made of two micro-plots totalizing only 2 8.56 ares of vineyards, these tiny parcels of Le Montrachet are a gift of Nature.

Puligny-Montrachet
Puligny-Montrachet APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE Appellation Village of the Côte de Beaune region (Côte-d’Or). This appellation includes 17 Premiers Crus Climats. The commune of Puligny-Montrachet also produces 5 Grands Crus (see Appellation sheets No. 52). Red wines from the defined area of this appellation may use the alternative appellation CÔTE DE BEAUNE-VILLAGES. Producing commune: Puligny-Montrachet. The appellation PULIGNY-MONTRACHET and PULIGNY-MONTRACHET PREMIER CRU may be followed by the name of the Climat of origin. TASTING NOTES White: this wine is a bright gold colour with greenish highlights, becoming more intense with age. The bouquet brings together hawthorn blossoms, ripe grapes, marzipan, hazelnut, amber, lemon-grass and green apple. Milky (butter, hot croissant) and mineral aromas (flint) are commonplace, as is honey. Body and bouquet blend into a subtle harmony. This wine combines grace with a welldefined character and a remarkable concentration. Red: the red wine is bright ruby when young, darkening with age. Its bouquet is divided between small red fruits (raspberry gooseberry) and black fruits (blackcurrant blackberry) later shifting towards leather, musk and fur. Tender and well-fruited, it is well put-together and does well with several years’ aging. SERVING SUGGESTIONS White: Puligny-Montrachet and its Premiers Crus are concentrated and well-bred. Their balance, aromatic complexity, and purified style demand delicate but rich food. They are equally at home with poultry in sauce or veal fried with mushrooms. Their great distinction elicits a grateful response from foie gras, lobster, crawfish, and grilled or fried sea-fish. On the cheese-board, its natural allies are goat cheeses, Reblochon, or soft-centred cheeses like Brie de Meaux.

After the small, frost-hit 2016 crop, 2017 saw a return to normal levels of production in most of Burgundy. There were localised difficulties, with frost affecting the northern part of the Chablis appellation (which unfortunately included most of the best premiers and grands crus on the right bank of the Serein) but overall it was a generous harvest with excellent yields being recorded, particularly in parts of the Côte d’Or.

Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet APPELLATION D’ORIGINE CONTRÔLÉE (Protected Designation of Origin) Grand Cru appellations in the Côte de Beaune, in Côte-d'Or. Communes producing wine: MONTRACHET: Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. BÂTARD-MONTRACHET: Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. CHEVALIER-MONTRACHET: Puligny-Montrachet. BIENVENUES-BÂTARD-MONTRACHET: Puligny-Montrachet. CRIOTS-BÂTARD-MONTRACHET: Chassagne-Montrachet. On the label, the words GRAND CRU must appear immediately below the name of each of these appellations in letters of exactly the same size. STYLE OF THE WINES While each Climat has its own nuances, there are some common characteristics. The wines have a golden colour with glints of emerald that yellows with age; the white wine bouquet suggests warm croissants and butter, bracken, dried fruit, spices and honey. The wine's body and bouquet become one, as their structure and harmony blend in perfect unity. Smooth, firm, dry and caressing on the palate, with deep, enveloped flavours, it has all the graces combined with an inflexible character. THE SOMMELIER'S RECOMMENDATIONS White: the power and aromatic persistence of these majestic wines require noble, sophisticated dishes with complex textures. In short, fine cuisine. Foie gras pâté, naturally, but also caviar. Lobster, crayfish or large wild prawns, with powerful flavours, firm or even crunchy to the bite, make a fitting tribute and balance the wine's richness. Firm-fleshed white fish, such as monkfish, also make a fine companion. But we must not forget high quality poultry: the delicate flesh of a fine free-range chicken will be delicately coated by the Montrachet's smooth, noble texture.

A Simple Explanation of Burgundy
A SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF BURGUNDY Over all of these years, the question I am most often asked is “Why is Burgundy so complicated?” The answer is, in fact, a bit complicated in the details. But, for the big picture it is really quite simple. Let me explain. Burgundy is an area in France. It is divided into two parts. The northern part, called Cote de Nuits, produces red wine with only a tiny amount of white wine produced. The southern part, called Cote de Beaune, produces both red and white wine, but is mostly known for its white wines. To be called Burgundy all red wine must be made from Pinot Noir and all white wine must be made from Chardonnay. Within Burgundy, the greatest vineyard within each town gives its name to the town. For instance, in the Cotes de Nuits, the wine from the town of Gevrey is called Gevrey-Chambertin — Gevrey for the town and Chambertin for its greatest vineyard. Likewise in Chambolle, the area is Chambolle- Musigny – Chambolle for the town and Musigny for its greatest vineyard. And, so it goes for Morey-St-Denis, Vosne-Romanee, etc. The history of Burgundy goes back to Roman times and the establishment of the greatest vineyard sites are centuries old. The greatest vineyards Chambertin, Musigny, Romanee-Conti, etc., are designated Grand Crus and only the Grand Cru name is on the label. The next highest rated vineyards are Premier Crus and the name appears on the label with the name of the area and the notation Premier Cru.

On the label, the words GRAND CRU must appear immediately below the name of any of these appellations in characters of identical size. TASTING NOTES White: subtle differences in the wines signal variations in Climat but they also share many common traits. Their colour is gold flecked with emerald, darkening towards yellow with age. Their bouquet evokes butter and warm croissants, bracken, dried fruit, spices and honey. Body and bouquet are not separately distinguishable, so closely blended are structure and harmony into a single perfect whole. Unctuous and firm, dry and caressing, enveloped and profound, these wines combine every virtue in a firmly-established personality. SERVING SUGGESTIONS The power and aromatic persistence of these lofty wines demands aristocratic and sophisticated dishes with complex textures: foie gras, of course, and caviar. Lobster, crawfish, and large wild prawns, with their powerful flavours and firm textures, pay well-deserved homage to the wine and match its opulence. Firm-fleshed white fish such as monkfish would be equally at home in their company. And let us not forget well-bred and well-fattened free-range poultry whose delicate flesh, with the addition of a cream-and-mushroom sauce, will be lapped up in the unctuous and noble texture of this wine.

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru- Winebow
Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru 2017 W I N E D E S C R I P T I O N Alain Chavy produces restrained, structured, and long-lived white Burgundies from 17 acres of vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet, with small holdings in the neighboring villages of Chassagne and Meursault. Alain established Domaine Alain Chavy in 2003 with vineyards inherited from his father and includes some of Puligny's top premier crus. A B O U T T H E V I N E Y A R D Alain Chavy’s rented parcel of Chavalier-Montrachet lies next to the Les Demoiselles climat and near the premier cru of Le Cailleret . Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru is one of the great white wines of Burgundy. It is stonier and chalkier than Montrachet, higher in elevation and with a steeper slope. At its best, Chevalier-Montrachet is one of the most intense, structured and long-lived white wines in Burgundy with incredible length and complexity. W I N E P R O D U C T I O N Alain inoculates for fermentation and believes in keeping bâtonnage to a minimum. He uses a combination of 400-liter oak puncheons and 25% new Burgundian pièce. “We’re looking for balance between the fruit and oak character,” explains Alain. “We want the wines’ minerality to show through.” T A S T I N G N O T E S Wines from Puligny-Montrachet are typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon and tend to be tauter and firmer on the palate compared to wines from neighboring villages.
