Bâtard Montrachet Trophy
Concentrated mineral intensity with spicy oak currently drowning the concentrated fruit. Youthful with enormous potential.
Compared to the steep slopes of the Côte de Nuits, Montrachet is surprising because although its name is a corruption of Mont Rachet , meaning bald mountain, it s fairly flat and arid.
The grand cru white wine Bâtard-Montrachet is said to take its name from when the Seigneur of Montrachet divided his land between his two sons. One was a knight who fought the enemy during the Crusades. The other was illegitimate, hence the name of the cru Bâtard-Montrachet, located just above Montrachet.
