The 2014 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a touch more gumption on the nose compared to the Criots-Batard-Montrachet with scents of citrus lemon, linden and cold granite, beautifully focused and very intense. The palate is long and tender in the mouth, certainly spicier and more extrovert than the Criot with a bravura finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is just a superb Batard-Montrachet from the domaine, one of the best of the vintage.
