Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Dominique Lafon's parcel of Montrachet produced his highest yields (30 hectoliters per hectare) in 1998. Four and a half barrels of this magnificent nectar were made. Harvested at 14 natural potential alcohol, it reveals pears, peaches, apricots, and flowers in its intense aromatic profile. Medium to full-bodied, expansive, and palate-coating, this elegant, classy, and rich wine is crammed with spices, white fruits, and minerals. It has outstanding presence, detail, and focus. It is not a muscular wine, yet possesses extraordinary underlying power in its precise character. This tour de force has an extraordinarily long, delineated, and mineral-laden finish.
Stephen Tanzer
Complex, deep aromas of apple, pear, toasted bread, roasted nuts and fresh herbs. Fresh and youthfully unevolved, with concentrated, spicy flavors of noteworthy purity. Finishes very long and crisp. Quite impressive for the vintage, and structured to age.
