The 2013 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a thrilling, spine-tingling bouquet with animated mineral-driven fruit and that touch of reduction that is in vogue at the moment (although it will be racked in a month and will probably disappear.) The palate is extremely well balanced with superb weight in the mouth. The razor-sharp acidity cuts this Grand Cru like a knife through butter and like Michel Niellon’s Bâtard-Montrachet, this seems animated and compelling straight from the off, blessed with outstanding tension on the finish. Bon vin. There is a knockout range of wines in 2013 from this address. There is just an honesty, a deceptive simplicity to them because on the surface they are so delicious, yet underneath are some articulate expressions of terroir, stunning mineralité and hidden complexity that tends to become clearer with aeration. I have heaped praise upon Domaine Marc Colin in previous years. This is no different. Domaine Marc Colin is one of the best growers in the Côte de Beaune, perhaps to Saint Aubin what Jean-Marc Roulot is to Meursault. And you can quote me on that
