Well, I've never even seen a bottle of Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet before, let alone a 3 litre bottle of one, but here it was, at the Ficofi tasting.
Without going into a fit of hyperbolic ranting, the one thing that drinking a glass of this wine tells you is that great wine is about balance. It was one of the most 'seamless' wines I have tasted, and only when you have tasted a wine like this do you understand how overused and abused the 'seamless' descriptor is. Long, svelte and delightful. That just about covers it.
The 96 we had last year was very good. GW
