Jean Chartron "Batard-Montrachet" Grand Cru 2019

96 Points Vinous

The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises three barrels from the domaine supplemented by one from another source. It has a strict nose: crushed stone, flint, red apples and then as it opens, a touch of kerosene. The palate is medium-bodied with immense concentration matched with a fine bead of acidity. There is some creamy oak to be subsumed, but I admire the persistence and length on the finish. Great potential.
