Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of vine blossom, acacia
honey, mandarin oil, ripe pears and hazelnuts, the 2017
Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru is full-bodied, unctuous and dense, with a
blockier, more foursquare profile than the lavishly expansive Criots,
with more depth and concentration too, concluding with a long,
mouthwatering finish. This is quintessential Batard.
