Domaine from plus an external barrel. Pale lemon and lime in colour. I like this nose, delivering drive and energy, white fruit not yellow, in the relatively early picked style. There is a tensile strength and definition, a little bit of bacon fat, unquestionably grand cru. Good length too, of course.
Bill Nanson "The Burgundy Report"
Mainly domaine with a little additional from the Chassagne-side.
Here is much aromatic volume; complex, oak spiced, beautiful fruit too. Here is certainly extra - but this is a no fat Bâtard, this is racy as well as concentrated - there is already everything here that you wish for - except for what comes from the benefit of your patience - bravo!
John Gilman "View from the Cellar"
The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet from Jean-Michel Chartron is another star of the vintage in the making. The beautifully pure and precise nose wafts from the glass in a mix of pear, fresh lemon, white peach, chalky soil tones, raw almond, citrus zest and stylish framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, bright and classy, with a great core of fruit, a proper sense of reserve out of the blocks, beautiful soil undertow, zesty acids and a very, very long, perfectly balanced and nascently complex finish. 2030-2070.
