Tasting Notes

94-96
Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a fresh, vigorous bouquet with lemon verbena and orchard fruit, more extravagant than the Criots though maybe with less precision? The palate is well balanced with edgy citrus fruit, moderate depth, structured and grippy with a potent saline finish. Very noble.
