The 2014 Batard Montrachet Grand Cru was much more open on the nose than the Chevalier-Montrachet from Niellon, though again it seemed quite primal and was missing the minerality of some of its peers. The palate is quite intense on the entry with touches of dried honey and quince, good weight in the mouth, yet it needs more finesse and nervosity to come through on the finish. Still, there is a nice salinity on the aftertaste, so hopefully it will find its groove in time.
