MATURED
The pale yellow color was shocking. This Grand Cru seemed to have matured faster than other maker’s Grand Cru, or was it bottle variation? I’m not sure…
Thick, broad and luscious palate striked me with a hammer, quite unlike the previous Criot Batard Montrachet from Fontaine Gagnard which was usually soft and luscious. Not likely to be premox as there’s no bake apple. Perhaps advance maturity, or storage issue, or something else I’m not aware of….. still pondering.
