94-96 WA "It was difficult to decipher the 2002 Batard-Montrachetâs nose, as the sample I tasted was slightly reduced. (This will easily dissipate with its pre-bottling racking). On the palate, however, there is no mistaking this exceptional wineâs quality. Armed with massive power, huge depth, concentration, purity, and length, this medium-bodied, muscular wine coats the tasterâs palate with thick, rich layers of candied, sappy minerals. Pears, apples, spices, and ginger can be found throughout its boldly flavored, impressively long finish."

Chassagne-Montrachet is a village AOC in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune with numerous Premier Crus, renowned above all for rich, nutty, mineral Chardonnay whites, though it also makes firm Pinot Noir reds.
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.
