(from 3 different parcels totaling .61 ha, one of which is in Puligny and the other two are in Chassagne; the vines are a mix of ages between 15 and 30+ years). An expressive nose is more floral still as well as slightly spicier with a broad array of white fleshed fruit and exotic tea wisps. There is first-rate density to the opulent, rich and palate soaking larger-bodied flavors that seem deceptively open on the mid-palate before immediately tightening up on the powerful, perfectly balanced and breathtakingly long finish. Like the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, this needs to develop more depth but the potential certainly appears to be present. This could well be one of the best examples of Bâtard in 2021.
