Few whites in the world can rival the majesty of Bâtard-Montrachet—and Louis Jadot delivers a jaw-dropping expression of this Grand Cru in 2017. From old vines on the limestone-clay slopes between Montrachet and Bienvenues, this wine is broad, deep, and endlessly layered.
It opens with white flowers, citrus peel, and hazelnut, then deepens into baked apple, toast, and saline complexity. Aged in fine French oak, it wears its richness with elegance. Built for long aging but haunting even in youth.
Tasting Notes:
White peach, almond, flint, lemon curd, fresh butter, toasted hazelnuts.
