The 2000 Batard-Montrachet reveals creamy white fruit and toast aromas. Medium-bodied and broad, this wine has outstanding depth to its roasted, toasted, pear, apple, and mineral-flavored character. It is dense, yet highly focused and exhibits an admirably long and flavorful finish. Projected maturity: now-2011.
