Batard Montrachet 2018 Grand Cru, Marc Colin
The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru was very put together when I tasted it, opening in the glass with notes of pear, Meyer lemon, white flowers, pastry cream and a deft application of new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, muscular and concentrated, with fine balance and a long, saline finish. Damien Colin continues his progression towards longer élevage in larger vessels: In 2017, he purchased more 300- and 350-liter barrels, a trend that continued in 2018, and after a year in wood, his wines now see a protracted sojourn in tank on the lees. He's adding less sulfur dioxide at harvest, finding that fermentations last longer. And longer élevage with attendant natural clarification meant that he was able to bottle his 2017s entirely without fining or filtration. Those 2017s, revisited from bottle, confirmed their fine showing last year; and 2018, rounder and more immediate in style, looks to be another success for Domaine Marc Colin, as my notes testify. |
