Note di degustazione
(purchased fruit from vines on the Puligny side of the cru near the Chassagne border): Wet stone and menthol dominate the nose. Chewy and vinous but tighter at present and less harmonious than the Grandes Ruchottes. In a powerful style but not thick or heavy. The echoing finish is salty and dry. This will need time in bottle.

The 2013 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from purchased grapes sourced from a parcel on the upper slopes planted in 1964 (the domaine’s own pickers undertaking the harvest themselves). It had been racked into a small stainless steel vat just the previous week and will be fined and bottled next year. It certainly displays very fine intensity on the nose, although the delineation will only surface once the wine has been completed. The palate is tense on the entry with piercing citric acidity to the point where you could almost describe it as “shrill." But it is not unbalanced and is simply rather penetrating in the mouth. It delivers an enchanting marine note - suggestions of shucked oyster shell toward the finish. This is a wonderful Grand Cru even if pound-for-pound, I find the Chassagnes more thrilling.
