Pierre-Yves Colin's greatest wine this year is the 2017 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru, which hails from a parcel of 90-year-old vines planted on the Chassagne side that he farms but doesn't own. Unfurling in the glass with complex aromas of Meyer lemon, nutmeg, honeycomb, dried white flowers, pastry cream and subtle new wood, it's full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, with a layered, broad-shouldered mid-palate, excellent concentration and a long, vibrant finish.

Intense, delivering concentrated flavors of lemon cake, peach, vanilla and clove that are well-integrated with the structure. Vanilla and butterscotch accents linger on the bracing finish. Still youthful, with all the components in the right proportions. Best from 2021 through 2028. 4 cases imported.??–BS??Region: France / Burgundy / Batard-Montrachet Select to Add
