Tasting notes
Note: from a .13 ha parcel of vines planted in 1996 and located on the Chassagne side. Here too there is touch of honeysuckle on the elegant white flower, orchard fruit, spice and crushed fennel aromas. There is more size and weight to the rich and generous, though not quite so much as that of the Pucelles, on the notably more powerful, youthfully austere and hugely long finish. This is also impeccably well-balanced though I underscore that it's very compact and clearly a Bâtard built for the longer haul. This too is excellent.*Burghound Don't Miss!*

The 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, from vines planted in 1996, had quite a bit of that matchstick reduction on the nose when I tasted it from barrel, but you can discern the concentration here. The palate is well balanced with a slightly honeyed opening. Acidity counters its richness as hints of ginger and white pepper emerge toward the finish. Powerful compared to its peers, this Grand Cru will require two or three years in bottle.(NM)
