Score 96/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous

The 2010 Batard-Montrachet is stunningly beautiful. It covers every inch of the palate with layers of intensely perfumed fruit. Despite its considerable richness, the Batard remains surprisingly delicate and medium in body, although I suspect it will put on weight in the bottle. There is so much to admire here, but the wine shuts down quickly in the glass, and I fear the same may happen in bottle. Readers will have to be patient here. In my view, the Batard is the most complete of the domaine’s grand crus. It combines aromatics, fruit and structure in a marvelously harmonious expression of this great vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. Aug 2012, www.robertparker.com

This is also quite ripe but a bit more elegant than the Criots with its well-layered mix of white and yellow orchard fruit, acacia blossom and subtle spice aromas. There is impressive size, weight and concentration to the almost painfully intense broad-shouldered flavors that coat the palate with acid-buffering extract before ending in a hugely complex and persistent finish. In a word, breathtaking. June 2012. www.burghound.com Drink 2018+
