Tasting notes
The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has turned out brilliantly. Offering up aromas of citrus oil, toasted bread, pear, white flowers, crushed mint and buttered popcorn, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with immense concentration, tangy acids and chalky structuring extract. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, only one barrel was produced. Based on this cuvée's track record, it will require at least a decade's patience to realize all its potential.

In Chassagne but almost on the Puligny side. Old vines. One 350-litre barrel. Picked 6 September – his first day, with Ancegnières and Chenevottes. Barrel sample, not yet racked. Deep greenish gold. Broad and rich yet unformed. Still so young!! Lots of potential. Very PYCM. (JR)
