The 2018 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a terrific success, exhibiting aromas of pear, honeycomb, white flowers, toasted nuts and a delicate top note of petrol. Full-bodied, layered and incisive, it's fleshy and nicely concentrated, even if it's a comparatively open, giving rendition of this supremely age-worthy cuvée.

This has both breadth and density, the better to hang its flavors of peach, citronella, white flowers, mineral, vanilla and toasty oak. Precision balance and seemingly endless length cap the profile. The aftertaste is classy and complex. Best from 2023 through 2035. 4 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Batard-Montrachet Select to Add
