justerini & brooks tasting note

A fine parcel of Bâtard just under the Puligny side of Montrachet near Pierre Morey’s vines, less fat and weight than Bâtard from the lower Chassagne side, wonderful textured and honeyed fruit, creamy but an intriguing touch of austerity that makes this really great. Ripe fruit, honeysuckle, dry stone, mineral, lemon, lime, nut and butter flavours. Powerful on the attack but nicely clear, focused and delineated on the finish. Stunning.

critic reviews

92+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Bright green-tinged yellow. Fresh apricot, white peach and hints of exotic fruits on the nose. Fat, rich and powerful, displaying a slight medicinal aspect and a muscular reserve today in spite of its considerable mid-palate sweetness. Very backward, youthfully aggressive Batard, with a bit of oaky dryness on the back end.
