90-92 Points | The Wine Advocate, Neal Martin “I wanted another grand cru to make up a case,” quipped Laurent Ponsot as he dipped his pipette into the single barrel of 2012 Montrac het Grand Cru that he has made since 2010. It has a generous bouquet with citrus fruits, frangipane and lime flower that opens nicely with aeration but to be truthful, do not quite convince that it is from the most illustrious white vineyard on the planet. The palate is rounded and generous in the mouth with plenty of pear skin, peach and spicy notes, although like the Corton-Charlemagne, it needs just a little more tension towards the finish. This is a fine Montrachet that does not capture the heart in the same manner as some of Laurent Ponsot’s other 2012s. Show more
