The 2010 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from the Chassagne side of the climat. The bouquet is powerful, with subtle scents of passion fruit and white peach that is all beautifully defined. There is just a faint hint of Devonshire fudge in the background lending sweetness, some daring decadence. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity on the entry, demonstrating extremely good weight and wonderful mineralite right up to the finish that has a touch of fresh lime and bitter lemon. Demonstrating great persistency, this is an impressive Batard-Montrachet. Drink 2015-2030
Bâtard-Montrachet is a great white Grand Cru in Burgundy's Côte D'or. Its vineyards are located onthe slope beneath Le Montrachet, in the Côte de Beaune. Bâtard-Montrachet's soils are heavier than those surrounding it, made up of brown limestone and gravel, which pave the way for rich, nutty, honeyed and heady wines with good structure. They are not as elegant as those from Chevalier-Montrachet and are broader and weightier than wines from Montrachet.
