Weighty but not heavy, the Chartron Bâtard opens with ripe apple fruit aromas abundantly shaded with hints of spice, honey, and cream. The texture is dense and concentrated; some may find it a bit rich, especially after the crystalline purity of the wines further up the slope, but it will undoubtedly please true lovers of the appellation. Chartron farms 0.12 hectares of 60-year-old vines on the Chassagne side; the 2022 at present is still slightly closed, but in five years, it should begin to open and drink well for decades.
Burghound: 95 Points
An exuberantly floral-infused nose speaks mostly of a combination of white orchard fruit and lemon-lime nuances. There is both more volume and richness to the broad-shouldered and quite powerful flavors that also coat the palate with dry extract, all wrapped in a youthfully austere and more complex finish that goes on and on. This is excellent with the aging potential to match. (92-95pts)
