Harvested at 13.6% natural potential alcohol and revealing a spicy nose of toasted oak, minerals, spices, and crisp pears, the 2003 Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche (white) displays more depth and “material” than Drouhin’s other 2003s. Light to medium-bodied, it reveals flavors of white fruits, oak, minerals, and notes of buttered toast. Though shorter than would be expected for a wine from this terroir of unsurpassed pedigree, it is delicious, well-structured, and complex. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2014.
