Bâtard-Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2024

Pierre’s vines sit on the top of the little dome in Bâtard, on the Chassagne side of the vineyard, right next to the lone tree. This is extremely tightly wound on the nose, but still this screams quality. On the palate, an extra layer of weight and breadth over anything that has come before, the elements sitting coiled and wrapped up like a loaded spring. And yet, there remains a sense of calm cool presence that is totally beguiling. A coiled tiger. Serious stuff indeed.
