Bâtard-Montrachet
Grand Cru
The season begins with a mild and dry winter, leading to an early start to the growing cycle. A significant episode of frost occurred on the Chardonnay on April 5 then on the Pinot Noir on April 14, causing a harvest loss (30% to 50%). A cooling at the beginning of June leads to capricious flowering. This causes runoff and further reduces yields while concentrating the aromas. The hot summer induces water stress in certain places which delays the maturity of the grapes. Because the berries are small and few number, the sugar level in the grapes is naturally high but the lack of water helped maintain good acidity.

Tasting
Tasting note
Wine of powerful and generous character. The nose has notes of lemon but also notes of butter and vanilla . The palate is fairly tensed with acidity. The wine is fat with maturity and fills the mouth with flavor. It needs time to be tasted in its peak. It may deserve to be placed in carafe two hours before.
Food pairings
Perfect with fatted chicken from Bresse with a creamy sauce and mushrooms.
