The toasted oak-scented 1999 Batard-Montrachet bursts on the palate with loads of power and density. This medium-bodied, expansive wine is chewy-textured, deep, and loaded with spicy white fruits. It is well-balanced, lush, and possesses an admirably long, flavorful finish. Projected maturity: 2002-2008. Maison Louis Latour is represented by a different importer in each state.
