Score 94/100 · Drink 2006-2026, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Sep 2021
Buchard's 1986 Montrachet Grand Cru is showing very nicely, bursting with aromas of pear, mandarin, vanilla pod, dried white flowers and honey. Medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, it's elegantly textural and fully mature (though it remains very vibrant), with fine mid-palate volume and a saline finish. Tasted blind, I thought it was the 1992.
