Tasting notes
The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru amounts to two and a half barrels this year. If you think that is small, then Sabine informed me that there is just a feuillette for 2016. After that, Sophie told me that she will replant the parcel of 80-year-old vines. A mote of reduction shook off easily with aeration, revealing a composed bouquet of wet limestone, red and green apple and a faint whiff of almond. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry with admirable depth, the oak neatly integrated and allowing the terroir to come through. The acidity is well judged and it gradually builds towards the finish, a tang of bitter lemon on the aftertaste. Give this 2-3 years in bottle and you will have a fine Bâtard-Montrachet.
