Reviewed June 2024Subtle though still easily perceptible wood frames ripe and very fresh aromas of white peach, pear, bee's wax, acacia blossom and a lovely array of spice elements. The larger-bodied and admirably concentrated flavors possess a gorgeous texture that is quite sleek while exhibiting outstanding power on the strikingly long finale that is presently very tightly wound. This marvelous effort is a 'buy and forget you own it' Bâtard, and especially so in magnum format. (Drink starting 2042)

Jasper Morris
The Bâtard is still in barrel, without any sulphur adjustment, so in fact needs refreshing which will happen, especially when it goes into tank. Primrose colour, ripe pears with some passion fruit. A significant wealth of fruit but the final wine is not easy to be sure of at this stage. Clean pure fruit returns, not so obvious acidity. This wine is likely to develop better than it is currently showing. Drink from 2030-2038.

Decanter
Leroux's Bâtard is the top white in his cellar once again, with complex aromas of peach, apricot and quince with linden flowers, spice and a touch of smoke. On the palate, the wine has an impressive depth of flavour, and although it does not lack the richness of the appellation, it is also a wine of great elegance and finesse, with a harmonious and superbly long finish. The grapes are from his 0.16-hectare parcel on the Chassagne side; he is now picking these first to maintain freshness. (Drink between 2030-2060)
