Bâtard-Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2018
Very juicy if even more closed than the Folatieres. Nonetheless this has all of the body, depth and stature you could hope for. Broad and brooding, exhibiting complex and deep flavours of roasted nut, butter and acacia with an underlying earthy, rocky minerality, garlanded by a citrusy freshness. This opens slowly and gradually but there is huge latent power. Massive length of flavour suggests this wine has great promise. A fine parcel of Bâtard on the Puligny side of the vineyard near Pierre Morey's vines, abutting Montrachet.
critic reviews
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru sees no new oak and is aged instead in one and two-year-old 350-litre barrels. It has a gorgeous bouquet with lemon curd, nectarine and crushed rock aromas, very seductive even at this premature stage. The palate is well balanced with a saline entry, fresh and crisp with an almost graphite tinged finish. So much nervosité is coiled up in this Bâtard - it will give 20-30 years of drinking pleasure.
