Tasting Notes

It has been far too long since I tasted this Tuscan answer to Batard-Montrachet. This is certainly complex and ageworthy. With its light almond flavour it seems slightly more like a particularly successful Corton-Charlemagne than Bâtard-Montrachet to me. Very sophisticated wine that seems rich initially but then finishes sleek and lively with layers of honey and lime. Very neat and rewarding now but it clearly signals that it will go through many different stages. Well done! Serious wine for the table.

Score: 17

A gorgeous wine, the 2017 Batàr is soft, open-knit and alluring from the first taste. Apricot, chamomile, mint, peach and dried herbs are all finely knit in the 2017. Although the 2017 will improve in bottle, it is already accessible and easy to enjoy. The interplay of textural richness and freshness makes for a beguiling white.
