Jean-Marc Brocard Montee de Tonnerre, Chablis Premier Cru, France

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4520

The 2010 Chablis Montee de Tonnerre is initially quite big and rich, but then finds its minerality on the mid-palate and finish. Lemon, white flowers, oyster shells and crushed rocks are some of the many nuances that flesh out in the glass. The 2010 is quite good, but I find myself wanting the sheer visceral thrill that the best wines from this site deliver. Anticipated maturity: 2013+. These 2011s and 2010s from the vast Brocard portfolio (which also includes Domaine Herve Azo) are quite representative of the respective years. The 2010s have excellent depth of fruit and acidity, while the 2011s are pretty, easygoing wines best suited to near-term drinking. In general terms, the Brocard wines tend to be fairly bold and up-front in style. Importers: Verity Wine Partners, New York, NY; tel. (212) 683-8763, Chambers & Chambers, San Francisco, CA; tel.

Stewed apricot nose. A big mouthful with plenty of juicy notes. It is quite broad showing oak influence and finishes rather sweet but has the acidity to last. Drink 2012-2017. Alc: 12.5%. (15.83 points)
