Louis Latour Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2001 Domaine Pierre Gaillard Very ripe fruit with excellentThe 2001 Batard Montrachet has a brilliant lemon yellow hue. On the nose it is subtle and fresh (still a young wine that has yet to open to its full potential) with hints of vanilla and oak. On the palate it is a deliciously potent combination of tropical fruits and caramel also with lingering oak. This is a powerful, round, full bodied wine which will only get better with time.
