The plump, sexy 2000 Batard-Montrachet exhibits poached pear aromas. Medium-bodied and possessing outstanding depth and intensity, this is a spiced apple, candied pear, and butter-flavored wine. It tightens somewhat in the mid-palate, but then expands to reveal a fruit-filled finish. Projected maturity: 2003-2012.
