The 2006 Montrachet (from purchased grapes) is the ripest and most exotic wine in this year’s Latour collection. Musk, lily, and over-ripe peach and pear aromas usher in a sumptuous, creamy, yet juicy palate. The finish here preserves all of the decadent floral and over-ripe fruit character while introducing an intensely pungent amalgam of citrus zest, toasted nuts, wood smoke, and crushed stone. As with this year’s Chevalier Demoiselles, there is a bit of heat here but it does not seriously intrude nor preclude clarity in the finish.
