Score 98/100 · Pierre Rovani, Mar 2012

One of the “wines of the vintage,” the 2001 Criots-Batard-Montrachet explodes from the glass with powerful aromas of minerals and smoke. A magnificent elixir, it paints a broad swath across the palate, revealing stunning quantities of liquid minerals and syrupy stones. Massively concentrated, deep, and complete, it has a finish that simply refuses to relinquish its hold on the taster’s palate. Wow! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Importer: Martine’s Wines, San Raphael, CA; tel. (415) 883-0400
