The 2016 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is lovely, offering up aromas of sweet yellow orchard fruit, iodine, lemon oil, hazelnut cream and honeycomb. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and richly textured, with considerable flesh for the vintage and a deep, concentrated core, though balanced by tangy, incisive acids. The finish is long and expansive. It's a terrific Bâtard that will develop beautifully in the cellar.
