Miljenko “Mike” Grgich first gained international recognition at the celebrated “Paris Tasting” of 1976. Then, in a now-historic blind tasting, a panel of eminent French judges swirled, sniffed, and sipped an array of the fabled white Burgundies of France and a small sampling of upstart Chardonnays from the Napa Valley. When their scores were tallied, the French judges were shocked: they had chosen the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay, crafted by Mike Grgich, as the finest white wine in the world. Mon Dieu! The results stunned the international wine establishment and immediately earned Mike a reputation as one of the greatest winemakers in the world.
Tasting Note:
Burgundian in style with elegant mineral complexity combined amazing acidity.. Aromas of a green apples and honeysuckle lead to a palate that is both silky and generous. Flavours of honey,spice and baked bread from sur lie aging while maintaining a delicious fruit profile with lemon cake.
