Note di degustazione
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is disturbingly deep in hue. It has an odd nose that lacks mineralité , tropical over-ripe fruit, rather peachy and with some reduction. The palate is very oaky and weighty. A dense and burly Bâtard-Montrachet that does need some grace and poise on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.

A distinctly restrained nose requires aggressive swirling to coax the lovely aromas of citrus peel, floral, spice and white orchard fruit aromas. The intensity of the muscular big-bodied flavors is borderline painful, and this intensity continues onto the youthfully austere, highly complex and impeccably well-balanced finale. This youthfully austere and compact effort will need at least some time to flesh out as it's tightly wound at present.
Richer and more muscular than the elegant Charlemagne, the 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru offers up notes of pear, citrus oil, beeswax, fresh hay and toasted nuts. On the palate, it's full-bodied, layered and fleshy, with ripe acids and chalky structuring extract.
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a reserved, backward bouquet that feels a little sultry after the more expressive Charlemagne. The palate is better, though, offering white peach and mango notes. A more tropical-tinged Bâtard-Montrachet but counterbalanced by the acidity. A touch of spice emerges toward the finish.
