Critics Scores
Vinous
(malo finished): Very reduced aromas of oatmeal and iodine. Hugely concentrated, rich and tactile, with hints of lemon, minerals, smoke and spices. Finishes musky, sweet and soil-inflected, with terrific mineral drive. There are just four and a half barrels of this juice in 2013--and only three in 2012.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Montrachet Grand Cru from Dominique Lafon was cheekily demonstrating a “Coche-Dury”-like reduction on the nose that I must admit was very seductive, although Dominique suggested that it will disappear by the time of bottling. The palate is well balanced, tightly wound at the moment, but there are some lovely walnut and spice notes toward the fiery finish and lip-smacking salinity that urges you to take another sip.

Lafon noted that this had only recently finished its malos and not surprisingly it was quite strongly reduced. The reserved, intense, round and very powerful big-bodied flavors possess good if not massive concentration and muscle though I very much like the attractively textured, detailed and explosively persistent finish. Note well that this impeccably well-balanced effort is going to require at least 15 years of patience for it to reach its apogee.
