    93/100
    Neal Martin,
    Vinous
    The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has more presence on the nose than Vincent Girardin's contribution from this vineyard but displays a licorice/menthol scent that I find distracting. This may be the first time I have ever described the nose on a Bâtard-Montrachet as medicinal (though it subsides with time). The palate is tangy on the entry with strong sour lemon and lemon sherbet notes, stem ginger and touches of rhubarb, and a bit more extract than its peers, though it needs more finesse. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.
