The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a rather terse bouquet, more saline than the Criots, touches of oyster shell coming through with time in the glass.

More smoky reduction on the nose and more obvious weight and power than the Blain-Gagnard Criots. A delicious grand cru with reserves of power, concentration and notes of intense, low-yielding fruit.
