"(Opened from personal storage.) . . . . As one would reasonably expect, the '95 Bâtard is fresher and more vibrant . . . but it's also much more complex, well-balanced and much, much more persistent. In sum, this is a fantastic effort that has reached its peak and should drink well over another 10 to 15, perhaps even 20."

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.
