Lemon light stony, light yeast note, honey note. Medium+ acidity. Medium+ length. A good Vire-Clesse, and the price of this AOC is also very reasonable (competitive with many Bourgogne blanc).

[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end] Thenard is the 2nd largest vineyard owner in Montrachet, around 1.86 ha (the largest is Marques de Laguiche, own 2.06 ha, but the grapes are vinified by Drouhin).

Quite a elegant and thin Montrachet. The nose and palate is unadorned, not dazzling. Hazelnut, flower, honey, light caramel, stony, and oak. High in acidity. Need 10+ yrs for the peak.
