The candied apple and spice-scented 2000 Batard-Montrachet is immensely aromatic. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and ample, this velvety-textured wine is plush, reveals untold quantities of peaches and pears, and possesses a layered, fruit-filled finish. It is an outstanding Batard with fresh, powerful character. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2013. (Pierre Rovani, The Wine Advocate, 21st Dec 2001, 93-94 Pts)
