Tasting notes
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has turned out well, mingling aromas of pear and white flowers with hints of almond and beeswax. Full-bodied, layered and textural, it's rich and fleshy, with lively balancing acids.

Cask sample. Both spicy and mealy/savoury on the nose but no lack of pear fruit behind that. Rich and creamy in the mouth, fat and spicy. It does have just enough freshness but not the length and precision you would expect from a grand cru and at this price. (JH)

About the producer
The Latour family has been growing vines in Burgundy since at least 1731. Their négociant business – today one of the region’s biggest names – was founded in 1797. Still family-owned today, the company owns 48 hectares of vines, 27 of which are Grand Cru, as well as its own cooperage.
