Tasting notes
Very youthful but those green fruit notes on the nose followed by a deep, throat-warming undertow are highly convincing. Lively and rich with real vivacity, though still very young. (JR)

The 2000 Batard-Montrachet reveals creamy white fruit and toast aromas. Medium-bodied and broad, this wine has outstanding depth to its roasted, toasted, pear, apple, and mineral-flavored character. It is dense, yet highly focused and exhibits an admirably long and flavorful finish. Projected maturity: now-2011. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
