Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2012
The 2010 Batard-Montrachet is all about potential. Today it is impossibly raw, powerful and inward. Despite its unbridled power and sheer energy, the Batard possesses remarkable balance and purity. I can't wait to taste this in another few years. Today, the Batard is a bit direct and frank, with little in the way of subtlety, but plenty of potential just the same. Anticipated maturity: 2016+. -Antonio Galloni

Ripe peach, lime leaf, botanical herbs and salty soil tones on the nose. Broad-shouldered and hugely concentrated, with an almost solid impression of dry extract. Classic chewy, tactile, soil-driven wine framed by sound acidity. The dry, deep, slightly tannic finishing flavors are hard to scape off the palate. This endless wine should easily evolve for two decades or more in bottle.
