Bâtard Montrachet, Domaine Marc Colin et Fils 2022

Tasting Notes

This is aromatically quite similar to the Vide Bourse though with notably more floral and spice influences. The rich, generous and bigger-bodied broad-shouldered flavors are also rich to the point of opulence thanks to the abundance of sappy dry extract that coats the palate on the powerful, compact, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This is terrific and very much intended for longer-term keeping though for those who hate to wait, it's not so tightly wound that it couldn't be approached after 4 to 5 years of keeping. Drink starting 2032.

Two barrels, Chassagne side, one year old wood. Quite a pale colour, though the nose reaffirms the status of the vineyard, with a significant weight of white fruit and a little bacon fat reduction. Not quite as massive as some, but persistent. Drink from 2030-2038.
