Joseph Drouhin, Criots Batard Montrachet Grand Cru, 2020
🏰 The 2020 vintage for white 布根地 (Burgundy) is celebrated as exceptional, known for its remarkable freshness, purity, elegance, and focus, underpinned by good acidity. White wines from this year are particularly aromatic, fresh, and elegant. They are concentrated yet maintain a balance of high alcohol and acidity, drawing comparisons to the ripeness and concentration of 2010 and the high acidity of 2007. Overall, 2020 is considered among the best white 布根地 vintages in recent memory.
This wine displays a golden colour with bright reflections. The aromas reveal complex notes of white fruit, vanilla, almond, and grilled bread, alongside hints of honey and dried fruit. For instance, Louis Latour's Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet 2020 showcases remarkable brilliance with delicate golden highlights and indulgent notes of almond paste, vanilla, and acacia honey. The palate is ample and generous, echoing these almond and vanilla aromas, elevated by a subtle hint of roasting, culminating in a fresh and long finish.
🥂 With an optimal consumption window of 10 to 25 years and an ageing potential of up to 25 years, this wine can be enjoyed now, but will further improve in the cellar until around 2034.
🍴 It pairs perfectly with pan-seared scallops, fish such as monkfish with saffron, or lobster.
