Tasting notes
(from 3 separate parcels of vines that are now 100 years of age that aggregate .33 ha). A slightly more exotic if otherwise similar nose gives way to denser and wonderfully seductive larger-scaled flavors that coat thepalate with sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm lemon-tinged acid spine supporting the powerful finish that goes on and on. This balanced effort should amply repay up to a decade of keeping.

The 2023 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru takes time to unfurl touches of walnut and smoke infusing its citrus fruit notes in the glass. The palate is well balanced, very smooth and slightly creamy in texture with discrete hints of praline and white chocolate. This lingers long in the mouth. It's a beautifully crafted Criots, though I prefer the 2022 at this stage.(NM)
