Batard-Montrachet 2019 Pierre Girardin

Professionele reviews

Burghound (94)

Ripe white and yellow fleshed fruit aromas are laced with hints of spice and floral elements along with discreet but perceptible wood. Like the Corton-Charlemagne, the tightly wound medium weight flavors are not super-dense but they do display focused power on the lemony and hugely long finale. This isn't a big and imposing Bâtard so much as it is one of refinement and serious intensity. Patience recommended.

Pierre Girardin was fortunate enough to purchase 3 ouvrees of Bâtard-Montrachet in late 2017, a plot with 85 year old vines. Rich yellow and very weighty. Spectacular! This is the vineyard that encouraged Pierre to go higher in canopy. A fabulous mix of complex yellow fruit, a little bit of orange blossom, but a greener thread too, showing that this has not gone through too far in ripeness. Very complete and lasts extremely well in the mouth.
