Note di degustazione
(from vines in the center of the Chassagne side of the appellation, close to Montrachet, according to Saouma): Wet stone, mint and medicinal herbs on the nose, with little sign of primary fruits today. Ripe but extremely backward, with distinctly medicinal flavors of menthol and herbs dominating. The brooding finish shows good cling, but there's no way in to this austere wine today. Saouma says "it's not smiling."

The 2011 Batard-Montracht is deep, powerful and earthy. Even within the context of Batard, this is a full-bodied, massive, powerful wine. There is plenty of personality, the question is really whether the Batard will find a sense of balance and finesse over time, or if it is always going to be a brute.
An introverted yet quite fresh nose of white flowers, apple, pear and soft spice hints. There is excellent concentration to the extract-rich flavors that culminate in an odd finish of menthol and something that is hard to describe but completely atypical. This may or may not correct itself and while the underlying material appears to be excellent, this is quite difficult to judge. Tasted: Jun 11, 2013. Drink: 2023+
