TASTING NOTES

Situated on a north eastern slope that benefited from the extra warmth and light afforded by the vintage. The thin soils lend it its overtly mineral and nervy character, but this year there was an extra degree of softness and generosity, even a hint of creaminess.

TASTING NOTES

There can be a brashness to Bâtard, sometimes seeking to impose itself by shouting over everyone else. However in 2013, we have a wine of more balanced maturity. The wine begins with discretion, slowly building, taking its time to point towards its key attributes. There is intensity here with control, the wine giving volume across the palate but never surging...

TASTING NOTES

Bursting with life, this is an exhilarating wine, with scented floral notes and a touch of confit lemon. On the palate, the wine shows tension and a strong mineral thread, leading to a vibrant finish.

TASTING NOTES

East-northeast exposure on a cool stony soil, the nose offers a whiff of gunflint, a prickle of gingery lemongrass and a twist of orange peel. Poetic and promising.

TASTING NOTES

Starting out with discretion, this reveals more and more with agitation as complex aromas emerge from the glass. Notes of small citrus fruits with a gentle spice lead via a fine thread onto a generous mid-palate kept in check by zippy acidity. The weight transfers to the finish with great elegance, showing poise and dexterity and no lack of finesse.
