Henri Boillot, Batard-Montrachet 2014 (1.5L)
96 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound
There is a subtle touch of wood to the mildly exotic aromas of mostly yellow orchard fruit that are tinged with hints of spice, menthol and floral traces. The generous and powerful big-bodied flavors possess outstanding complexity with equally good mid-palate concentration as well as an abundance of dry extract that coats the palate on the beautifully persistent finish. This is a tightly focused and intense Bâtard that should age effortlessly for years. In a word, impressive. (96 pts. Allen Meadows, Burghound #63, June 2016)
