Tasting Notes

WA96

As is often the case, the Batard is relatively closed on the nose but the mineralite is certainly here with just a faint hint of toffee apple. The palate is brilliant: wonderful delineation, ample fresh apricot and white peach fruit, vibrant and enthralling on the finish. Gorgeous!

BH95

Interestingly, here the nose quite resembles that of the Caillerets save for having less obvious minerality and more peach and pear influences. There is superb richness to the big-bodied, intense and powerful flavors that possess an overt muscularity though no heaviness because while this is a full-sized Batard, it is also focused, pure and harmonious. This should also age well and repay up to a decade of cellar time though it should drink well before that. 92-95
