Montrachet

About this wine

Only 300-400 bottles produced per year from DRC's 0.68ha of Le Montrachet Grand Cru, possibly the world's most profound dry white wine with extraordinary mineral depth.

Sommelier's Note

"This is the undisputed king of white wines. You must experience it at least once to understand the true potential of Chardonnay."

Food Pairings

Pairs exceptionally well with lobster thermidor, roasted turbot with beurre blanc, and aged Comté cheese. Its complexity demands dishes that are equally refined and rich.

When to drink it

Celebrations of monumental life events, high-end private dinners, or as the centerpiece of a serious collector's tasting.
