Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
The Wine Advocate
94-96 Points
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with a reticent bouquet of lemon rind, citrus, hazelnut cream, white flowers and mandarin oil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, both denser and blockier than the Bienvenues-Bâtard, with exceptional concentration, tangy acids and a long finish. Today, the wine is only partially formed, but it's immensely promising. Pierre Vincent told me that it attained 12.8% natural alcohol, but despite that rather modest degree for a grand cru white Burgundy, it displays plenty of power and substance.

This racy white delivers lemon tart, stone, vanilla and toasted brioche aromas and flavors. Linear and taut, this shows youthful harmony as well as a smoky, sultry finish. Offers excellent intensity, balance and length. Best from 2021 through 2030. From France.
