95+ JG "It is a pity that there is only one barrel of this great wine, but one barrel is a lot better than zero barrels, and it is really gratifying to see Alexandre Moreau now with a grand cru in his lineup. The bouquet is deep, complex and flat out stunning, as it soars from the glass in a beautiful mélange of lemon, apple, orange, lemon blossoms, a great base of soil and a nice touch of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, long and absolutely rock solid at the core, with brisk acids, laser-like focus and a huge, racy and very, very long finish. A great Bâtard-Montrachet."

Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
