Batard Montrachet - Grand Cru 2020

Site : Bâtard Montrachet straddles Puligny and Chassagne. It lies right below the famous Montrachet vineyard. Bâtard is one of the greatest white wines of the Côte de Beaune.

History & tradition : according to the often told story, the lord of Puligny in the Middle Ages divided his estate between his children:

the eldest was the "chevalier" (knight)

the daughters were the "pucelles" (young virgins)

 the son born out of wedlock was the "bâtard".

"Tasting a wine of this stature is always cause for emotion.

The golden colour has bright reflections.

After some aeration, the aromas reveal their rich intensity: grilled bread, almond, honey, exotic wood...

What is striking is the structure of the wine, its "monumental" grandeur. There is even a touch of tannin that provides an added dimension. A voluptuous finale, seemingly without end, with precious notes of preserved and ripe fruit.".
