Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

Notes - Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet are at the center of the four villages comprising the part of the Côte de Beaune region known as the "Côte des Blancs" (Meursault, Blagny, Chassagne and Puligny). This area received this name for the quality and royalty of its white wines. Bâtard Montrachet is located at the point where villages of Puligny Montrachet and Chassagne Montrachet converge. It borders the Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet vineyard and is right below the Montrachet. It is exposed to the sun from the east, and sits on a terroir composed of chalky soil. It is also the largest of the five Grands Crus. Bâtard Montrachet is a full bodied wine, rich and powerful. It stuns the drinker with intense flavor of almonds, ripe apple, white flowers, honey and spices. In addition, the length in the mouth is remarkable. Batard Montrachet is the perfect partner for elegant dining: foie gras, appetizers, lobsters, scallops. "Full-bodied, opulent and well-muscled, this 2006 white enters full speed ahead, turning more restrained by the finish. It’s lively enough to stay focused, ushering in a long, spicy finish." 94 points, Wine Spectator Insider, November 2008.
