Tasting Notes

There are years where Bâtard can be over-bearing, even bombastic but this is not one of them. Forward and welcoming, it offers exotic notes of star anise, cinnamon and clove, a burst of grapefruit and a confident underlying minerality. There is power here but used carefully, with direction, knowing just how far to go. The resultant wine is civilised and wise, brains to go with the brawn. Drink from 2019.

ProducerDomaine Leflaive

The vision of Anne-Claude Leflaive in the 1990s took this Puligny Montrachet Domaine to the heights of white wine production, not only in Burgundy but in the rest of the world. Today, her nephew Brice de La Morandière - who has had a successful career running multinational companies - continues her philosophy of organic, biodynamic viticulture, bringing Chardonnay grapes to their best possible expression in Grand Cru and Premier Cru climates, where the terroir has been restored to health by natural practices.

*These wines are not available for non-UK based customers.

Tasting Notes

The aromatics are at the grapefruit end of the citric spectrum. On the palate, the wine feels tender and delicate at first but it builds in the mouth and then shows clear intensity on the finish, giving a real saline burst. Another one that is asking for time.
