Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

A legendary wine, a symbol and part of Burgundy’s heritage, the Bâtard-Montrachet appellation, like its neighbour "Le Montrachet", is indeed all of these. This is the true jewel of the appellation, which stretches across both the communes of Chassagne and Puligny (and to which the name "Mont Chauve" has been given).

Tasting

Incredible complexity even in its youth, the nose develops predominantly floral aromas with slight notes of toast and a touch of menthol. Full-bodied and powerful on the palate with gorgeous minerality and lasting flavours. The finish is long and delectable with subtle amber notes of candied fruit and sweets.

Food/wine pairing
