The boldly spicy, expansive, medium to full-bodied 2002 Batard-Montrachet (domaine) is an outstanding wine. Ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and pears vie for the taster’s attention in its complex aromas. Broad, deep, dense, fat and lush, this chewy-textured, toasty, candied apple-flavored effort has the depth, richness, and personality that made its vineyard famous. Projected maturity: now-2012.
