Tasting Notes and Scores
(13.2% natural alcohol; Leroux owns these vines): Healthy pale yellow. Very ripe, deeply pitched aromas of apricot and subtle spices. Highly concentrated and plush, offering a high-wire act of sweet fruit and brisk acidity. This rather powerful Batard is going to require time in bottle to harmonize fully.

The 2014 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has much more focus and minerality than Corton-Charlemagne. This is well balanced, a little waxy in texture, touches of hazelnut and almond coming through with impressive depth if not quite the bracing nervosité on the finish. Fine, if not the best white that Benjamin Leroux produced in this vintage. I might actually prefer some of his Premier Crus to this Bâtard, but let's see what it can do once bottled.
