Tasting notes
The 2014 Criots Bâtard Montrachet has a simple citrus peel nose that is calling out for more mineralité, something that nails it down as a grand Cru. The palate is balanced on the entry with a keen line of acidity. I actually prefer this to the Chevalier-Montrachet—more lithe in the mouth, more precision with a touch of salinity on the finish that urges you to take another sip. This is a commendable white 2014 from Louis Latour.
