Aromas of ripe pear, peach, mint, hazelnuts and buttered toast introduce the 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, rich and layered wine that's broad and satiny, with a seamless, giving profile and an expansive finish.
Cask sample. Long and golden-tasting somehow. Big and bold with some perceptible acidity but at the moment a bit formless. For the moment it’s slightly ‘so what?’ and with alcoholic heat on the end. Needs a lot of time! (JR)
The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from the Puligny side, has a more concentrated nose than the Bienvenue: quite expressive apple blossom and linden scents, a touch of pressed white flower and crushed limestone. The palate is well-balanced with a little more substance than the Bienvenue, more grip, presence and a longer tail on the finish. This should mature beautifully in bottle.
Moderate wood is present on the even more floral-scented nose of various white fleshed fruit aromas where background touches of citrus, wet stone and green apple add breadth. Like the Clos de la Garenne, there is very good mid-palate density to the larger-bodied and more powerful flavors that exude a bead of minerality on the muscular, youthfully austere and impressively long if slightly tannic finale. This is a big Bâtard that should amply repay extended keeping.
This has not fallen clear after a recent lees stirring. Jadot stir their Grands Crus twice after the fermentations, once each in summer and autumn. There is significant weight as you would expect, almost a monolithic block, a little citrus, both lemon and lime. Impeccable length. This requires significantly more ageing but should join its fellows on the podium. Drink from 2034-2040+.
