Score 91/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Neal Martin, Nov 2022
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has an overtly peachy bouquet with more conspicuous oak than its peers, though everything seems to be nicely balanced. The palate is well balanced with an oaky entry that rather impedes the terroir and slightly dries out the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has turned out nicely, opening in the glass with notes of buttered orchard fruit, honeycomb, wheat toast and marzipan. Full-bodied, rich and textural, it's fleshy and layered, with bright acids, good depth at the core and a long, delicately toasty finish. Bottled under Diam, it will offer a broad drinking window.
