The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has much more expressive mineralité on the nose compared to the Bienvenue. Vivacious, citrus-driven aromas gain intensity with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a slightly oily-textured entry, plenty of extract here, very weighty and quite persistent towards the finish that just needs to subsume some of the oak. Very good potential. 

Subtle but not invisible wood frames the cool and exceptionally pretty aromas of the essence of pear, elegant floral nuances and an equally broad range of spice wisps. The bigger-bodied and more powerful, though curiously less concentrated, flavors are once again almost painfully intense and this intensity carries over to the tautly muscular, balanced and hugely long finale. This is exceptionally backward and I would strongly advise not even touching a bottle for at least 10 years.

The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a touch more exotic than the elegant Bienvenues, delivering aromas of musky peach, toasted nuts, white flowers, mint and struck match, followed by a full-bodied, layered and fleshy palate with a broad attack, lively acids and a gently aromatic finish.
