Tasting Notes

The Batard-Montrachet possesses fabulously intense anise and honeysuckle aromas as well as an expansive, full-bodied, and elegant character. Layers of minerals, white peaches, buttered toast, and sweet pears are found in this lively, highly focused, and superbly persistent wine. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2010. All of Drouhin's whites, with the sole exception of the Montrachet, were bottled between early September and the end of October, 1997.
