Aromatically unyielding, the 2001 Batard-Montrachet is tightly-wound and backward. It reveals outstanding depth and a concentrated, powerful underlying minerality. Light to medium-bodied, this wine displays toasty flavors, loads of purity, and a long, lemon-dominated finish. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012.
