2022 Alex Moreau Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

95 Points Burghound: "Once again there is a vague suggestion of the exotic present on the cool and pretty essence of pear, floral, jasmine tea and crushed star anise wisps. The enveloping, concentrated and powerful big-bodied flavors also brim with sappy dry extract while delivering superb length on the balanced and highly complex finale. This is excellent and while clearly a Batard that is built-to-age, it could reasonably be approached after 7 to 8 years." 95 Points Neil Martin, Vinous: "The 2022 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a taut, delineated bouquet with crushed stone infusing the green apple and yellow plum fruit. Very focused and it gains intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a beautiful line of acidity that slices through the quite concentrated citrus fruit. The oak (two one-year-old barrels) remains politely in the background. It fans out wonderfully on the finish. Exquisite." It has been a minute since we have had a prominent white Burgundy estate such
