Decanter über: Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Decanter: Divided into three separate parcels, two in Puligny and one in Chassagne, the Leflaive holdings in Bâtard amount to a more than satisfactory 1.5ha. Rich, concentrated and well upholstered, this is a plush, dense, palate-coating white that flirts with exotic fruit but finishes with focussed, chalky minerality. 97/100

Winespectator über: Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Winespectator: This racy white delivers lemon tart, stone, vanilla and toasted brioche aromas and flavors. Linear and taut, this shows youthful harmony as well as a smoky, sultry finish. Offers excellent intensity, balance and length. 97/100

Parker über: Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Parker: he 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with a reticent bouquet of lemon rind, citrus, hazelnut cream, white flowers and mandarin oil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, both denser and blockier than the Bienvenues-Bâtard, with exceptional concentration, tangy acids and a long finish. Today, the wine is only partially formed, but it's immensely promising. Pierre Vincent told me that it attained 12.8% natural alcohol, but despite that rather modest degree for a grand cru white Burgundy, it displays plenty of power and substance. 94-96/100

Galloni über: Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Galloni: Pale yellow. Less expressive on the nose than the Bienvenue, conveying a honeyed ripeness and a hint of resiny oak. Then tightly clenched in the mouth, with a penetrating orange juice flavor dominating. Not at all a fat wine, this is hard to taste today and needs time to expand. Its power suggests that it will evolve slowly. 92-95/100
