Bâtard-Montrachet

Grand Cru

It is said that the lord of Puligny-Montrachet divided his estate among his children: the eldest son or "Knight" (Chevalier), his daughters or "Virgins" (Pucelles) and "Bastard" (Batard). Each had his hand and three Climats have kept their name Chevalier-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles and Batard Montrachet.

A demanding vintage. 2023 is now seen as the hottest year with the temperatures above seasonal averages. This vintage is also characterized by significant water deficit during the growing season and strong disease pressure. We also noticed strong heterogeneities in maturity with dynamics that are difficult to anticipate. The harvest was generous, allowing us to carry out a thorough sorting, especially on the Pinot Noir.
