The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more backward and closed than the Bienvenues yet this sings of Bâtard, a bit surly but you know it will loosen up in the end. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry. There is just a touch of reduction but it feels tensile from start to finish. It is a little spicier on the finish with a tang of tangerine and stem ginger on the aftertaste. Excellent. 2027-2050
3 x 450l barrels made. A glowing pure fresh yellow colour, with dignity and energy. The oak adds a little pat of butter. Spending time with this because I think it has significant potential. There is considerable tensile strength on the palate, not the most powerful of Bâtards, but I think it has been very skilfully made. Drink from 2034-2040. Tasted Oct 2025.
This Batard brings the fat and cream despite the vintage, the nose showing ripe stone fruits and expensive-feeling, well-managed wood spice. There is a richer, fuller profile to the palate and more gloss than in any of the other Jadot 2024s that we tasted, but this still remains a slender Batard as a result of the vintage. Juicy, honeyed and deep on the finish.
