The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is one of the Côte de Beaune's greatest white wines. It stretches across the communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, immediately below the legendary Montrachet vineyard. According to medieval tradition, the Lord of Puligny divided his estate among his children: the eldest inherited Chevalier-Montrachet, his daughters received Les Pucelles, while the vineyard given to his illegitimate son became Bâtard-Montrachet. Its gently sloping limestone-rich soils allow the vines to root deeply into the bedrock, producing a Chardonnay of monumental structure, extraordinary richness and timeless elegance.

Appearance: Brilliant golden colour with luminous reflections.

Nose: Intense aromas of toasted bread, almonds, honey and exotic wood.

Palate: Monumental in both structure and scale. Rich and powerful, yet perfectly balanced, with a subtle tannic backbone adding remarkable depth. The finish is exceptionally long, revealing preserved fruit and amber notes.

Food Pairing: Superb with roasted lobster, Bresse chicken in cream sauce, turbot, monkfish, sweetbreads, morels in cream or aged Comté.
