The Joseph Drouhin Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a premier cru white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune region of France. It is made from a blend of Chardonnay grapes harvested from the hillside vineyards of Bâtard-Montrachet and the nearby communes of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The wine displays a complex bouquet of ripe, honeyed fruit, peach, and citrus alongside subtle, toasty oak notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, broad, and lush, with a creamy texture and an underlying mineral streak that carries through to the long, lingering finish. This is a classic example of white Burgundy at its best.
