The 2017 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru exhibits aromas of fresh peach, ripe citrus fruit, beeswax and nutty new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad shouldered and muscular, with excellent depth and dimension at the core, ripe acids and a long, vibrant finish. Despite its unmistakable power, this is an elegantly rendered Batard that should offer a broad drinking window.
