2022 Batard Montrachet

Tasting Notes
From a 0.35-hectare plot acquired in 2008, this is a really impressive wine in 2022. Winemaker Jérôme Flous is clear that it’s an exceptional vintage for whites – his best to date. The nose is savoury – waxy, chalky and creamy – followed by a palate of extraordinary density and fullness. It is almost fat, but a pithy bite of acidity brings tension. Intense, round and layered, this needs a few years in bottle for everything to integrate and its full complexity to be revealed. The finish is long and fresh with a bright, sherbet tang that leaves your mouth watering.

Mind-blowingly deep and subtle nose of stone fruit with citrusy nuances. All the density of Batard, but with such elegance at the extremely long, focused finish. Great potential! From old vines purchased in 2008.
