Verkostungsnotizen
Vinous 91
The 2019 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is quite floral on the nose, with pressed yellow flowers almost obscuring the slightly tropical fruit. Candied orange peel and touches of apricot emerge with time. The palate is well balanced with a rounded, honeyed texture, low acidity and a heavy dose of oak that dries out the phenolic and overtly spicy finish. It is a decent Criots, though, as I felt just after bottling, the Domaine oversaw better Grand Crus in this vintage. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2036
