This following collection of exceptional Montrachet was acquired by a true lover of White Burgundy and comprises some of the finest achievements from this hallowed vineyard
Montrachet
Some of the most beguiling, delicious and memorable bottles I have had the pleasure to taste have been white Burgundy, specifically matured examples of arguably the world’s finest white wine, Montrachet. The high degree of concentration and level of complexity with a vast array of aromas, nuances and flavours can be off the charts and matched with mouth-watering acidity and opulent mouth-filling texture on the palate means that each sip reveals something new and brings you back to taste again and again. If someone tells you that white wines don’t age well, then they obviously have not tasted a mature Grand Cru Montrachet!
Montrachet is undoubtedly the top tier of white wines in the world. These are very highly sought after as volumes produced are extremely small from the eight hectares of vineyards in this hallowed part of the Côte de Beaune. An extreme example of the small volumes produced happened in 2016 when vines were damaged by spring frosts and reduced yields even less than normal. In this famous Montrachet vineyard, seven owners clubbed together their meagre harvest and managed to produce only two barrels of wine between them. These seven owners including Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Leflaive, sold just under 600 bottles of this blend that combines all their 2016 harvests, called ‘The exceptional harvest of 7 Domains’. Rare indeed.
Montrachet ages extraordinarily well. The wines are extremely intense and develop incredibly complex aromas and flavours ranging from honey to hazelnut and butterscotch and more, often with a smoky character. These wines have an astoundingly long finish with vibrancy and energy, managing to combine elegance with power and have impeccable balance and precision. Typically, Montrachet is the richest and most intense and age worthy of the other Grand Cru; Chevalier-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet and Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet. These fantastically complex wines should be aged for 15 years or more to reveal their most compelling facets, and Christie’s are delighted to be offering a selection of matured fine vintages from the top exponents of this legendary wine.
Montrachet straddles two appellations, Puligny Montrachet which has 4.01 hectares to be precise and Chassagne Montrachet, with 3.99 hectares where strictly it is called Le Montrachet compared to Montrachet in Puligny. The vineyard has an ideal exposure and well-draining soils based primarily on limestone. Of the producers in this collection, Marquis de Laguiche and Ramonet have their holdings on the Puligny side and Jacques Prieur, Comtes Lafon are on the Chassagne side.

Marquis de Laguiche
Marquis de Laguiche is vinified and sold by Joseph Drouhin. They own 2.06 hectares, being the largest single vineyard owner. Their wines are fantastic, and we have the exceptional 1992 vintage in the sale. In that year, August and September were warm and produced healthy, ripe grapes, harvested under ideal conditions that resulted in concentrated and textured whites.
