Allen Meadows 93-96/100
Here too, there is a smoky wisp to the spicier and equally cool aromas of mostly white orchard fruit, petrol and a hint of wood toast. The larger-scaled flavours possess a wonderfully seductive mouthfeel thanks mainly to the deep reserve of sappy dry extract before culminating in a powerful, palate-staining and borderline tannic finale that just goes on and on. This is a seriously impressive Bâtard.Drink from 2030 onwardallen_meadows, burghound_com.com (June 2022)

Pale lemon yellow. There is quite a weight of fruit here on the nose, but it is tight and backward. This is a massive Bâtard-Montrachet, and it will be wonderful, but the detail is very much hidden. The power and the balance are both there, with a little bit of astringency, which is only a sign of extreme youth.Jasper Morris MW, InsideBurgundy.com (October 2021)
About this wine
Chardonnay
Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
