The 2015 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru was picked on 6 September. It has more mineralité and stoniness than the Corton-Charlemagne: wet stone, a touch of smoke and struck match. The palate is well balanced with a vibrant entry: citrus peel, dried orange peel and a touch of honey. This is a richer style of Bâtard-Montrachet from Jean Chartron, but it managers to maintain crisp acidity that keeps the tension right to the finish. There is a bit of gusto about this Bâtard-Montrachet and there is nothing wrong with that. This comes recommended.
