Tasting notes
The 2011 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru blossoms in the glass with light, floral-infused honey. Chamomile, tangerine and hazelnut notes. Rich and voluptuous all the way through to the finish, yet never heavy, the 2011 is a model of finesse. This is another superb showing from Pierre Morey.

There is the barest hint of the exotic to the broad-ranging and beautifully layered nose of dried apricot, white peach, soft floral aromas, citrus peel and fennel. There is exceptionally good richness to the tautly muscular and large-scaled flavors that brim with plenty of mouth coating dry extract before culminating in a dry, firm and unapologetically built-to-age finish that is overtly austere and hugely persistent. This is impressive in its depth but also at just how backward it is. Patience will definitely be required. Tasted: Jun 15, 2014. Drink: 2021+
