Short answer, because it has a reputation and yes they can be very
diferent. There are so many different styles that it is difficult to
answer. I drink mostly Pouilly Fouisse, Chablis, and St. Veran which I find
much cleaner and food friendly than similarly or cheaper priced CA or
Australian products. I will let others speak to Montrachet et al.
