2022 Batard-Montrachet, Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

A very pungent nose presently exhibits residual secondary fermentation and wood scents. Much more interesting are the exuberantly fresh and superbly concentrated broad-shouldered flavors that are succulent but decidedly powerful before culminating in a muscular, palate staining and hugely long finish. This is excellent and a wine that should age commensurately. ~ (95) Allen Meadows, Burghound 6-1-2024

The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is 100% Domaine unlike the Corton-Charlemagne. It has a classic nose from this Grand Cru: crushed limestone, sea cave and touches of shucked oyster shells. The palate is well-balanced and very intense, building in the mouth towards a cerebral, grippy finish that is one of their most persistent cuvées. The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet showed brilliantly last year…the 2022 does exactly the same. ~ (97) Neal Martin, Vinous 1-1-2024

The king of the cellar is the 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a deep and multidimensional wine redolent of pear, peach, clear honey, toasted nuts, freshly baked bread and white flowers. Full-bodied, layered and structured, its satiny attack segues into a concentrated mid-palate and a long, saline finish. ~ (96) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-18-2024
