Score 93-95/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2015

(made from old vines on moist clay soil in the heart of Batard, according to Saouma): Aromas of lime, clove, nutmeg, mint, menthol and flint. Hugely concentrated but tightly coiled, conveying a powerful saline impression of terroir . Very dry and classic and explosive on the aftertaste, this grand cru will need a good decade of bottle aging before it approaches its peak.

The sublime 2013 Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru has a very focused limestone, Cornice pear and spice-scented bouquet that is bashful at first but then opens up with just a few swirls of the glass. The palate is very well balanced with superbly judged acidity, almost Corton-Charlemagne like on the finish that is very long in the mouth. What d'ya know...this is equal to the Chevalier and the Montrachet this year - my pick of Mounir's whites.
