Reviewed February 2023Three parcels totalling 0.38 hectares contribute to this head-turner. One plot is about 80
years old and the others are about 40. The deep color is notable, and it leads to a bold nose
with warm apple slices laced with baking spices. Vinous and mouth-filling, the finely-tuned
acidity delivers bustling energy to this generous wine with a very fine, long finish. 2022-34.

A fuller yellow colour. Chunky and weighty, perhaps waxy, plenty of weight here, a little salty acidity, though I do not quite see the nobility. Plump fruit up front, but I would like to see a little more tension behind.

A whiff of the exotic lurks in the background of the ripe and fresh aromas of apple and pear compote, citrus confit, lychee nut and an agreeably subtle application of wood. There is slightly better complexity to the larger-scaled flavors that possess plenty of dry extract on the focused, powerful and impressively long finish that also really fans out as it sits on the palate.

Vinous
The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from three parcels. This has quite a strict bouquet, just a touch of reduction to contend with at the moment, but nicely focused. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and quite zesty although it does not quite deliver the precision of the Charlemagne on the finish at the moment. (NM)
