The 2006 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru from Joseph Drouhin is a notable white Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune. This vintage displays a texture that is marked by a rich mouthfeel and moderate acidity. Aromas typical of the region are present, including notes of toasted bread and almond, layered with hints of honey and subtle wood. Over time, the wine reveals evolving characteristics, showcasing preserved and ripe fruit nuances.

From purchased juice, the Drouhin 2006 Batard-Montrachet smells decadently rich with musk, over-ripe peach, lime candy, talcum, and smoky, spicy new wood. With impressive fat and palate persistence, it offers another instance of appealingly forward virtues if without noticeable indications of long aging potential, nor any particular grand cru finesse or mystery. - David Schildknecht
90 Vinous
Expressive, slightly exotic nose combines peach, apricot, pineapple and sweet oak scents. A fat, sweet fruit bomb with apricot, nutmeg and buttery pastry flavors. Comes across as less minerally and gripping than the Corton-Charlemagne or Meursault Perrieres; in fact, this strikes me as more chardonnay than Batard. But really coats the mouth on the back end.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2008
