Vinous: 96 Points
"The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from purchased must courtesy of 60-year-old vines that have been organically grown for 20 years. It has a superb bouquet of mineral-rich citrus fruit that puts the Bienvenues in the shade. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, concentrated and grippy in the mouth, delivering intense citrus notes laced with quince and hints of apricot toward the finish. Superb. Four barrels produced."

"More tightly wound than the Bienvenues, the 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru unfurls in the glass with aromas of pear, confit citrus, fresh pastry, nutmeg, hazelnuts and beeswax, framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Full-bodied, deep and tensile, with huge levels of concentration and extract, it's layered and muscular, with a seamless, structured profile and a long, saline finish. Best after 2025."
