2025 Batard Montrachet

"The 2025 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru marks another defining moment for Alvina Pernot, as 2025 is the first vintage produced entirely as a Domaine wine. The increased control in both the vineyard and cellar is immediately evident, resulting in a remarkable step up in precision and overall quality. The nose is initially discreet, with subtle hints of ripe white fruit, delicate citrus and a gentle touch of oak that quickly melts into the wine. On the palate, it is round, powerful and very rich, yet it avoids the excess often associated with Bâtard-Montrachet. Rather than allowing sheer muscle and opulence to dominate, the wine is shaped by a vibrant backbone that brings freshness, tension and impeccable balance. A pronounced mineral core keeps the palate focused, while the fruit steadily unfolds with increasing depth and complexity. The finish is exceptionally long and harmonious, confirming this as a Bâtard of both stature and finesse. A magnificent Grand Cru that perfectly demonstrates the precision and ambition of the new era at Domaine Alvina Pernot."
