Butteaux lies on the west side of the Premier Cru Montmains, comfortably preserved within in a warm circle of terroir. The 2015 seems exaggerated with respect to texture from its lees like all Brocard, but here with more weight, girth, density and structure. Preserved lemon slowly filters to drop by drop and there is more perceived sweetness which just adds to the fullness and textures. The vintage speaks and here is another example of why Brocard is so well known for clean wines of extreme clarity.
