Made from yields of 18 hectoliters/hectare (just over one ton per acre), the Batard Montrachet offers a thick, oily texture, and chewy, roasted fruits with a nice touch of minerals. It needs 4 years of cellaring, and will last for 10.
This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.
