Note di degustazione
The 2005 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a terrific bouquet, very steely and tense. Previous bottles have tasted richer but this is almost Zen-like! The palate is fresh, taut and linear. It comes armed with a huge amount of concentration, but on this showing it would benefit from another five years in bottle! Be patient. Tasted at the 1243 Club in Beaune.

Explosive aromas of ripe stone fruits, flowers and honey. Fatter, thicker and sweeter than the more elegant Bienvenues but less precise today. A classic round, rich, full and highly concentrated 2005 with strong extract and plenty of alcohol. This big boy will need a solid decade of cellaring to burn off some of its baby fat and achieve its adult shape.
Big and bold and extremely honeyed – massive in fact. Some oak still in evidence but still racy underneath. Absolutely pure and bursting with energy. Very, very rich yet racy too. Still a fair amount of baby astringency underneath – set for greatness! Wonderful lime syrpup sort of enegery – very very long and very sunny somehow, without the puppy fat that can plague some Bâtards. (JR)
