A Toronto-based collector with a passion for fine wine. Built with impeccable provenance and meticulous care, wines were acquired via cellar door, mailing lists, and trusted agencies and retailers in the city. Wines were housed in a temperature and humidity-controlled home cellar until landing with Iron Gate.
The rating for 2016 Bouchard Pere Fils Le Montrachet Grand Cru is 94-96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - There is just half of the quantity of the 2016 Montrachet Grand Cru this year (although that said, that's probably a multiple of what fellow Montrachet growers inherited). The bouquet has that marine-like tincture like the La Cabotte—oyster shell and sea cave scents underlying the citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity, sappy in the mouth, a brooding intensity toward the finish. You can just feel the presence of this Montrachet, the opening chapter of a great wine. This will take several years to reach its apogee but it will be worth the wait.
