Jean Chartron : Bâtard-Montrachet Grand cru 2023

Rich and buttery, with aromas of ripe apple, apricot and quince, accented with oak spice and floral notes. The texture is solid but retains admirable elegance, with moderate weight and enough acidity to bring the wine into a luxurious balance. The grapes are from a small 0.12ha parcel in Chassagne, near the border with Puligny; they are lightly crushed and fermented in cask (40% new), where it will stay over two winters.
