Score 93-95/100 · Drink 2017-2035, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Oct 2014

The 2012 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a brisk and “cool”, mineral-driven bouquet that opens wonderfully in the glass. There is real breeding here. The palate is vibrant and citrus fresh with tension and huge weight and intensity on the finish that crashed like a large wave upon the breakwater. This is no shy and retiring Bâtard and should turn out to be a feisty number.

Score 93-95/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2014

(from the highest part of this grand cru, according to Saouma): Site-driven aromas of soil and flinty minerality. Hugely glyceral yet pure, with outstanding sucrosite leavened by salty minerality and sexy brown spices. Finishes saline and very long, with lingering sweetness.
