Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey - Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru - 2021

The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, comprising just a single one-year-old 300-liter barrel, is stunning on the nose with vibrant green apple, wet limestone and citrus scents, quite penetrating but, oh so elegant. The palate is well balanced with a powerful opening, more tropical than anticipated with wild peach, persimmon and hints of grapefruit, spicy with stem ginger on the finish. Wonderful. 95-97 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com An exuberantly fresh and floral-suffused nose also displays notes of green apple and citrus confit. There is excellent richness and power to the focused middleweight flavors that evidence a taut muscularity on the impressively persistent finale. Excellent development potential here. 93-96 Points Don't Miss! Allen Meadows, Burghound
