Jean Chartron Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 (750ml)

Pale gold with glints of straw and a satiny sheen, Jean Chartron Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022 (100% Chardonnay) opens with a rich, deep bouquet—brioche, ripe pear, lemon curd, toasted hazelnut, and subtle spice, layered with smoke and crushed stone. Sourced from this prestigious Grand Cru straddling Puligny and Chassagne, the wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels (35–40% new), with bâtonnage and extended lees contact enhancing volume and complexity. The palate is broad and commanding, yet precisely defined—stone fruit, citrus cream, and marzipan glide over a dense, mineral-laced frame. Acidity brings structure and lift, guiding into a long, resonant finish of savoury depth and refined power. A monumental Bâtard—voluminous, textural, and built to age.
