Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2024
Trade Tools
France / Burgundy
Another of the Grand Cru terroirs clustered around Montrachet; here the soils are deeper and the gradient less steep, resulting in wines with great density and weight, and with the structure for significant long aging to reveal the iconic complexity of these reference-point whites.

2024 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage was challenging and ultimately saw severely reduced yields due to excessive rainfall with warm temperatures, leading to poor flowering and uneven fruit set and pressure from downy mildew. Low lying parcels suffered the most. Harvest began on September 13th and the yields, while small, arrived in good condition.
Tasting Note
Aromas of honey and candied citrus lead to a rich and expansive mouthfeel, with complex layers of fruit and earth flavors unfolding over the long finish. With age haunting floral and spice notes emerge.

About the Grape
Chardonnay
Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
