The Montrachet
appellation in Burgundy produces the world's finest and costliest dry
white wines.
These wines are
monumentally complex and dense, with high levels of alcohol and
moderate acidity.
The wide mouth of
this generously shaped glass steers the wine mainly to the
sourness-sensitive edges of the tongue, ensuring that the acidity is
sufficiently emphasised to create a harmonious balance with the
luscious fruit of the late-harvest, healthy grapes and the sweet
toasty aromas of the mine's ageing in oak barrels.
The size of the bowl
allows space for the rich bouquest to develop its superbly diverse
range of aromas, while minimising the risk of it becoming
over-concentrated.
Of course,
outstanding Chardonnays from other regions and countries can also be
enjoyed from this glass. |
