2022 Louis Jadot Batard-Montrachet

This has not fallen clear after a recent lees stirring. Jadot stir their Grands Crus twice after the fermentations, once each in summer and autumn. There is significant weight as you would expect, almost a monolithic block, a little citrus, both lemon and lime. Impeccable length. This requires significantly more ageing but should join its fellows on the podium. 95-98 points

The 2022 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which comes from the Puligny side, has a more concentrated nose than the Bienvenue: quite expressive apple blossom and linden scents, a touch of pressed white flower and crushed limestone. The palate is well-balanced with a little more substance than the Bienvenue, more grip, presence and a longer tail on the finish. This should mature beautifully in bottle. 94-96 points

Aromas of ripe pear, peach, mint, hazelnuts and buttered toast introduce the 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (Maison Louis Jadot), a full-bodied, rich and layered wine that`s broad and satiny, with a seamless, giving profile and an expansive finish. 92-94 points
