Product Description
#6 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017 A refined tropical nose of guava and pineapple with a touch of fresh almonds and zesty citrus. On the mouthwatering palate, a waxy and creamy textured surface gently coating a stony structure. Notes of caramel and tropical fruit permeate through a long uplifting finish. Purchased in 1957, "Le Mont" lies on the esteemed Premiere Cote. With less clay and more stone than "Le Haut-Lieu", "Le Mont" yields young wines of intense minerality.
wine score
95 points Wine Spectator
"This tilts toward the flattering side of off-dry, showing a plump feel to the core of creamed pear, white peach and yellow apple fruit. Lovely verbena, honeysuckle and mineral accents keep this balanced and driven, with a long finish that lets the fruit echo. Drink now through 2032."
