Lovers of vanilla wafers and butter cookies will find their mouths watering when they get a whiff of Jadot’s 2002 Batard-Montrachet. This rich, concentrated, plush nectar is hugely powerful, medium to full-bodied, and exhibits exceptional purity. Minerals, spicy pears, cookie dough, and syrup-laced earth can be discerned in its layered, boldly flavored personality. This top-flight Batard should hit its stride in 2009 and will easily hold through 2019. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; tel. (212) 490-9300
