Tasting notes
The 2015 Batard Montrachet Grand Cru wafts from the glass with a dramatic bouquet of peach, tangerine, iodine, beeswax and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is textural, broad and powerful, with chewy extract, imposing density and good grip on the succulent finish. This is a full-bodied, authoritative Bâtard which needs a bit of time in the cellar.

The 2015 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru was picked on 6 September. It has more mineralité and stoniness than the Corton-Charlemagne: wet stone, a touch of smoke and struck match. The palate is well balanced with a vibrant entry: citrus peel, dried orange peel and a touch of honey. This is a richer style of Bâtard-Montrachet from Jean Chartron, but it managers to maintain crisp acidity that keeps the tension right to the finish. There is a bit of gusto about this Bâtard-Montrachet and there is nothing wrong with that. This comes recommended. Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2019-2032
