The 2001 Batard-Montrachet reveals a nose of rich almond scents. Zesty, its white flower and mineral-dominated flavor profile also reveals lively lemon characteristics. It has excellent depth and length, yet its acidic citrus component causes me some worry, hence the conservative score. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.
