Verget's 1998 Batard-Montrachet is outstanding. Aromatically displaying red berries, butter, spices, and fresh herbs, this is a creamy yet bright, medium-to-full-bodied wine. Poached pears, peaches, baked apples, and candied lemons compose this lively, persistent effort's racy personality. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2008.
