Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 14 Jan 21
The 2018 Bâtard-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.

Fermented in 350-litre oak. The Puligny side of the grand cru. Two 350-litre casks. Less than last year because one part was not so good and they sold the fruit. The only wine of which there is less 2018 than 2017. 80-year-old vines. Picked 27 August! Bâtard likes dry warm summers. Barrel sample.Very slight hint of smoky reduction but nowhere near struck match. Both chalky and intensely citrus-fruited. Majestic and creamy. Another wine packed with fruit and richness. Deep and so tightly shaped by the freshness. Perfectly balanced. Fragrant and intense. Majestic already and will become more so. That gingery spice on the finish. (JH)
