2022 Bachelet Ramonet Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 750Ml Bottle

'Some early expression of ripe white peach, citrus oil, hazelnut, and a stony, almost smoky mineral line. On the palate there is plenty of weight, but carried with incredible acid energy: layers of orchard fruit, some ginger, and a phenolic framework that pulls everything into focus. The oak is discreet, absorbed by the fruit. Excellent persistence. Will gain further dimension with time. Classic Bâtard power.' Jane Semple

For over a century, successive generations of the Bachelet-Ramonet family have cultivated vines in Chassagne-Montrachet. This corner of Burgundy, part of the celebrated “Côte des Blancs,” is recognised worldwide as one of the finest terroirs for Chardonnay. The domaine today extends across 13 hectares, with holdings in both Chassagne and neighbouring Puligny. Winemaking follows a classical model, supported by modern equipment: whites are matured for 14–16 months in oak, with bâtonnage employed to build texture, and all wines are vinified and bottled on site. While rooted firmly in tradition, the estate’s precision and consistency have earned it regular attention in the wine press, and its bottles are sought by leading merchants and restaurants around the globe.
