The Grand Cru vineyard of Bâtard-Montrachet lies between the picturesque villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, home to the world’s greatest white wines. Only a small country lane separates this 12.37 hectare vineyard from the greatMontrachet itself. Its gentle easterly-facing slope is made up of a deep, rich, gravelly soil which has a limestone base, world renowned for the production of high quality Chardonnay fruit.
Tasting note
This Bâtard will seduce you with its powerful and complex bouquet. Heady aromas of fruit and fresh almonds are released in the glass. The palate has crisp acid and good concentration, it is still youthful and will continue to develop and evolve over the coming years.
Awards and Accolades
90 Points, Wine Spectator (USA), August 2011
'Candied citrus, butterscotch and apple notes need air to come together. Solid, if on the chunky side, with a lingering finish.'
