Tasting a wine of this stature is always cause for emotion. The golden color has bright reflections. After some aeration, the aromas reveal their rich intensity: grilled bread, almond, honey, exotic wood...What is striking is the structure of the wine, its “monumental” grandeur. There is even a touch of tannin that provides an added dimension. A voluptuous finale, seemingly without end, with precious notes of preserved and ripe fruit.

Vineyard

Producing communes : Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Site : Bâtard-Montrachet straddles Puligny and Chassagne. It lies right below the famous Montrachet vineyard. Bâtard is one of the greatest white wines of the Côte de Beaune.

History & tradition : according to the often told story, the lord of Puligny in the Middle Ages divided his estate between his children: the eldest was the “knight”, the daughters were the “puelles” (young virgins) and the his born out of wedlock was the “bastard”.

Soil : located on a mild slope, the soil is a brownish limestone mixed with gravel. The secret of this exceptional terroir comes from the unique interaction between the deep layers of limestone and the roots of the vines.

Winemaking

Supply: this wine comes from grapes harvested on some parcels of the Drouhin Family Properties as well as from grapes and musts purchased from supply partners according to rigorous specifications.

Harvest : grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded.

Vinification: slow pressing in a pneumatic press. The juice of the last press is separated from the free run-juice. The juice is transferred into wine barrel after a little settling.

Aging : the alcoholic fermentation as the malolactic and the aging are being processed in oak barrels. The proportion of new barrels is around 30%. The aging lasts between 18 to 21 months. Origin of the wood: oak grown in French high forest.

Throughout the aging process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.
