The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru conveys much more terroir expression on the nose, offering chalk dust and wet limestone aromas; great intensity here. The taut, fresh palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a mineral-driven finish and commendable persistence. This is a step above the Bienvenues this year and it should age with style. Bon vin!
From a 0.35ha parcel of fairly young vines, this sees a full-on treatment with lees stirring over two winters in cask, to give a wine that is notably rich and buttery but not overdone. There is enough acidity to balance and carry the wine to a lingering finish, and this will age well to be at its best in a decade. Drinking Window 2024 - 2049

Rich and muscular, the 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru exhibits aromas of pear, citrus zest, toasted nuts, honeycomb and white flowers. Full-bodied, broad and powerful, with lively acids and an ample core of ripe fruit, it's the most dramatic wine in the range. If it can pick up some additional tension during a second winter on the lees, my score will seem conservative.92-94+ points William Kelley robertparker.com Jan 15 2021
