Batard Montrachet VV 2014 Domaine Vincent & Francois Jouard

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (92)

The 2014 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which was matured entirely in new wood, was more closed than the premier crus when I tasted the wine at the domaine, obviously needing several years in bottle. The palate is very elegant with hints of brioche and limestone interwoven through the malic, apply notes. The acidity is very well judged, but at the moment I am still seeking that "knockout blow" on the finish. This is a fine Bâtard for sure, though I am more tempted by the best premier crus from Jouard at the moment.
