Tasting notes
The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from a single parcel of which half has undergone replanting, has a strict and what feels like a taciturn bouquet after the expressive Meursault Les Perrières. This feels introspective, but unfurls to reveal light chalky aromas. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, quite powerful and voluminous although, I am just seeking a little more tension on the finish. Still, this is very fine.

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is extremely promising, unfurling in the glass with notes of Meyer lemon, confit citrus, pastry cream, blanched almonds, fresh mint and green apple. On the palate, it's full-bodied, deep and broad, with lovely amplitude and dimension at the core, considerable concentration and a long, intense finish. As followers of this domaine will know, Morey produces this wine from a parcel that touches Montrachet, toward the southern limit of the commune of Puligny.
