Note di degustazione
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has more presence on the nose than Vincent Girardin's contribution from this vineyard but displays a licorice/menthol scent that I find distracting. This may be the first time I have ever described the nose on a Bâtard-Montrachet as medicinal (though it subsides with time). The palate is tangy on the entry with strong sour lemon and lemon sherbet notes, stem ginger and touches of rhubarb, and a bit more extract than its peers, though it needs more finesse. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune.

Smoky, succulent fruit on the nose. Tight, crunchy and multi-layered on the palate, but still very new-born. Gorgeous toasted spices on the finish. All in shadow at present – cellar this until it comes out into the light! (RH)
Wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of vine blossom, acacia honey, mandarin oil, ripe pears and hazelnuts, the 2017 Bâtard-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 Bâtard.
