🏰 The 2017 Bachelet-Monnot Batard Montrachet Grand Cru is a 【powerful and generous white Burgundy】, unfurling with a reticent bouquet of lemon rind, citrus, hazelnut cream, white flowers, and mandarin oil. The 2017 vintage in Burgundy is praised for producing white wines with great depth, focus, and structure, often compared to the treasured 2014s. On the palate, it's full-bodied, dense, and blockier than some counterparts, with exceptional concentration, tangy acids, and a long finish. Expect notes of lemon, butter, and vanilla, with a fairly tensed acidity and a fatness that fills the mouth with flavor. This wine is opulent yet structured, with rich fruits balanced by a tight texture and power. 🍴 This magnificent white Burgundy is perfect with rich seafood dishes like pan-fried sea scallops, saffroned monkfish, or lobster thermidor. It also pairs beautifully with Bresse fattened chicken with a creamy sauce, or other poultry dishes. 🥂 A cellar selection that offers long-term aging potential, this wine is ideal for a celebratory meal, a significant anniversary, or as a prized addition to a fine wine collection. It needs time to be tasted at its peak, with a recommended drinking window from 2024 onwards. Serving suggestion: This wine needs time to open up. Decanting for two hours before serving is recommended to allow its full complexity to emerge. Serve chilled at 12-14°C (53-57°F).
