Tasting notes
Beautifully balanced, the Criots-Batard-Montrachet reveals wooded notes which are in complete harmony with its floral opulence. With such complexity and roundness it is only just that a few more years cellaring are needed for this wine.
Description
Benefitting from its easterly exposure which guarantees maximum ripeness for the Chardonnay grapes, this wine has a luscious golden colour and it offers a wealth of exotic ripe fruit aromas and a viscous sensation in the mouth. The finish is truly opulent. It can develop for over 15 years. This wine won the Coup de Coeur in the 1996 Guide Hachette.
