"The 2015 Bâtard-Montrachet is a bit more reserved than the domaineâs Bienvenues this year, with a simply stunning aromatic constellation and impeccable focus and balance on the palate. The bouquet soars from the glass in a vibrant constellation of pear, apple, a touch of orange zest, incipient notes of beeswax, pastry cream, chalky soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and displays superb mid-palate depth, with racy acids and outstanding backend mineral drive on the long and zesty finish. There are already hints of the candied lemon elements to come here at maturity and this is absolutely stellar in 2015."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
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.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
