Montrachet 1992 75cl

There are 100 cases of the 1992 Le Montrachet. It will rival the great 1992 Le Montrachets produced by Domaine Leflaive, Amiot-Bonfils, and Ramonet. It possesses fabulous richness and a huge, massive feel. Impeccably well-balanced, with a sense of elegance and precision, this wine must be tasted to be believed. Given the wine's size and profound concentration, it will need 5-10 years of cellaring. It has the potential to last for 25-30 years. Lafon rarely filters his wines. All of his 1992s are ripe, rich, precocious wines that will not have the aging potential of the superb 1989s, and excellent 1990s. Lafon, who sells only ten percent of his production to the United States, believes his 1992s are similar to the 1982s (probably the best wines of the vintage), but with more intensity and purity. The 1992s are still in cask, hence the estimated ratings.
