The creamed spice-scented 2001 Batard-Montrachet displays lovely depth of fruit, concentration, and length. This rich, spiced pear-flavored wine is medium-bodied and flavorful. Some warmth (alcohol) and tangy characteristics in the finish prevented this impressive wine from earning an outstanding score. Anticipated maturity: now-2009. This famed negociant firm performed substantially more batonnage on its 2001 whites in an attempt to give them additional body. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel. (212) 818-0770
