The Wine
Le Montrachet is the single greatest white wine vineyard in Burgundy and has four other Grands Crus associated with it, including Bâtard Montrachet. So what’s the difference? Stephen Brook writes on decanter.com that “Chevalier is esteemed for its finesse, while Bâtard tends to show the greatest power and richness. Le Montrachet’s supremacy derives from the fact that it manages to blend the elegance of Chevalier with the body of Bâtard.” The estate’s share of the Bâtard Montrachet vineyard is just 0.05ha, so quantities of this incredible wine are miniscule. Grapes are hand harvested and the wine is aged in part new Allier oak. It’s exquisite, with great power, balance and length. Savour on its own or with white meat based haute cuisine.
"Sweet peach and apricot aromas. Taut and incisive, with excellent depth and intensity of ripe fruit"
Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
