1997 Louis Jadot Criots-Batard-Montrachet

This was simply stunning and easily in my list of top two whites tasted this year. Expressive bouquet of toast, buttered popcorn, flinty-smoky minerality and subtle honey along with pear, yellow plums and a touch of mushroom. On the palate this was well-structured, opulent and full-bodied with impressive acidity that kept the wine lively and persistent on the complex finish. And talk about finish… it hang on for a few minutes changing from citrus to yellow plums then minerals. Again, wow!
