Montrachet thought of the day

Le Montrachet

"So the wine of Montrachet should be considered as one of those rare marvels of which the chance of appreciating its perfection is granted to only a chosen few. Let the man who is able to buy a few bottles of the best vintages consider himself fortunate, whatever the price; he will never have paid too much."


Dr. Jules Lavalle, Histoire et statistique de la vigne et des grands vins de la Cote-d'Or (1855)
