Tasting notes
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a very backward and taciturn bouquet, not unlike Domaine Pierre Morey’s that I tasted a couple of hours earlier. The palate is well balanced, quite sapid with orange rind and dried honey notes, lots of matière (perhaps more than the Corton-Charlemagne) with fine precision on the finish. Give it a couple of years in bottle.

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru exhibits aromas of fresh peach, ripe citrus fruit, beeswax and nutty new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad shouldered and muscular, with excellent depth and dimension at the core, ripe acids and a long, vibrant finish. Despite its unmistakable power, this is an elegantly rendered Bâtard that should offer a broad drinking window.
