The 2016 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru was touched more by the frost than other vineyards owned by Vougeraie, and yet they still managed a supremely well-crafted and delicious wine. It has a focused and mineral-rich bouquet with scents of oyster shell and something estuarine on the nose. The palate has a feisty and lively entry, a keen line of acidity, more depth and concentration than the Bienvenue and with a good persistence on the finish. This is excellent.

The 2014 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru had a nice "Coche-like" reduction on the nose that I will not complain about if extant after bottling. The palate is well balanced with grapefruit, fresh pineapple and tinned peach furnishing the entry. This Bâtard is harmonious with a twist of lemon peel on the weighty and quite intense finish that lingers long in the mouth. This represents another excellent white grand cru from Pierre Vincent.
