Jean Chartron : Bâtard-Montrachet Grand cru 2022

Weighty but not heavy, the Chartron Bâtard opens with ripe apple aromas abundantly shaded with hints of spice, honey, and cream. The texture is dense and concentrated; some may find it a bit rich, especially after the crystalline purity of the wines further up the slope, but it will undoubtedly please true lovers of the appellation. Chartron farms 0.12 hectares of 60-year-old vines on the Chassagne side; the 2022 is still slightly closed for now, but in five years it should begin to open and drink well for decades.
