Maison Louis Jadot's Batard-Montrachet has a super-ripe, intensely floral nose and a massive, muscular, dense, oily-textured, and full-bodied core of sweet fruit. White peaches, poached pears, juniper berries, and oak nuances can be discerned in this opulent yet focused wine. It should be at its peak from 2003-2010. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; (212) 490-9300.

Round, ripe and fairly opulent, this is a silky-as-they-come sort of wine. Lacks a bit of intensity and finesse, showing plenty of butter, ripe pear, lime and earth flavors. Full-bodied, with a malic-herbal tone on the finish. Best after 2002.??–PM??Region: France / Burgundy / Batard-Montrachet Select to Add
