The 2000 Batard-Montrachet offers apple and pear aromas as well as flavors. It is medium-bodied, exhibits good fat and volume in the attack and mid-palate, then tightens to a lean, linear finish. If this wine can overcome its drying acidity as it completes its elevage, it will be an excellent to outstanding wine. If not, it shall forever remain ungenerously hard.
