4 barrels in all. Clear bright pale colour. The nose is more reticent but it is the fruit and not the oak which speaks. This is very steely, with excellent intensity, very focussed, wood showing just at the back, a properly concentrated wine with a fine future. Tasted: October 2018.

The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet from Domaine Jean Chartron is quite a bit riper in personality than the Corton Charlie, offering up a touch of the exotic in its bouquet of tangerine, pear, passion fruit, chalky soil tones, citrus zest and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and powerful in profile, with a rock solid core of fruit, fine focus and grip and a very long, nascently complex and broad-shouldered finish. This is a very good wine in the making. Were harvested on the 2nd of the month. 2022-2055+.

The Batard-Montrachet is from the middle lower part of the vineyard - just on the border between Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet - but as the estate located in Puligny. The nose is airy and vivid - notes of apple, peach and almonds. Fine hint of citrus infused minerality .. lovely depth and complexity - although not rivalling the magnificent Chevalier-Montrachet. An intense yet refined Batard in my view - the 2017s are truly delightful when harvested in time.
