Bâtard Montrachet is a full bodied wine, rich and powerful. It stuns the drinker with intense flavor of almonds, ripe apple, white flowers, honey and spices. In addition, the length in the mouth is remarkable.
Wine Spectator 94 points - Full-bodied, opulent and well-muscled, this white enters full speed ahead, turning more restrained by the finish. It’s lively enough to stay focused, ushering in a long, spicy finish. Best from 2011 through 2024. –BS (Feb 28 2009)
