2015 Faiveley Batard Montrachet Grand Cru, Wow! Big nectarine and peach nose, with freshly baked brioche. Full bodied stone fruits abound with a subtle, but present butter edged oak profile. Touches of toasted spice jumps around. This is a flirty wine, that just gets better and better in the glass. This wine deserves a serious pairing...then again a perfect roast chicken with herbed butter and roast kipfler spuds.
Pale, bright yellow. Yellow fruits and spices on the nose. A step up in ripeness, richness and sweetness from the more laidback Bienvenues-Bâtard, this mouthfilling grand cru captures the sheer volume of the vintage. Plush, smooth orchard and stone fruit flavors display a bit of alcoholic warmth but are given definition by underlying minerality. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and considerable length. This Bâtard will need a few years to burn off some of its baby fat.
