Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay

Beautiful.

Lightly corked- you can see it’s good under bath. Sad

Light to medium gold color, heavy in the glass. Great perfumed nose. Notes of citrus, oak, kiwi fruit, some tan spice and a hint of spearmint. Fruit forward in the mouth. Nice texture. Drinking well for the hot vintage. Nicely pleasing and in a good spot.

Honey and oak on the nose. Lifted spearmint too. Lush and intense. Viscous and very fine acidity- very long and rich. High class stuff.

Stellar, mint and cream, so dense and powerfully structured but with great energy and length.

Decanted and took a LONG time to begin to open up! Needs time but I’m detecting a hint of oxidation so this will be dicey to decide what to do.

Stunning magnum

A bit advanced.

Pale gold color. Yellow apples, baked pear, citrus peel. Some signs of age with nutty tones and very slight oxidation. Such concentration and depth with mineral backbone. #grandcru #burgundy #montrachet #ramonet

Thank you to Beverly and Arvind Sodhani for a truly remarkable evening. I shipped a Magnum of Krug Rose for us to enjoy prior to dinner. The Batard Montrachet came from Arvind & Beverly’s personal cellar. It was perfect. I adore this Batard! 😍😘😘😍🙌. This was a glorious prelude to a long evening of wine indulgence. It was definitely a Marathon and not a sprint! Thank God I’ve been training all year for this evening 🤪😂😂🤪.
Thank you so much for a phenomenal evening under the stars! 🌟 💫 🌟 There’s nothing better than dinning outside in Napa during this time of year
