The 2021 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is the first vintage after the 0.13ha of vines were replanted in 2019. It is aged in one 350-liter barrel (one-year-old). As the vines are so nascent, I was not anticipating complexity on the nose, and though crisp, it does lack some terroir expression. The palate is balanced with good depth, a fine spine of acidity, touches of peach on the mid-palate with a composed finish. A decent starter, though there is better to come.Inc. VAT£540.26 -

Wine Advocate (90)
The 2009 Hermitage (which comes from Sorrel’s three parcels in Les Bessards, Les Greffieux and Les Plantiers) possesses supple tannin along with lots of red and black fruit, licorice, acacia flower and camphor characteristics. Full-bodied, with good acidity and a forward style, it begs for consumption over the next 12-15 years.In Bond£120.00 -

Jancis Robinson (17+)
Strong perfume and baked fruits on the nose. Impressive density and weight on the palate, though there is perhaps a quicker finish than might be expected. Perhaps this will develop with age? The tannin may be high, but there is a finely ground feel to it that is surprisingly accessible.In Bond£100.00 -

Vinous (93)
Inky ruby. Ripe black currant, cherry liqueur, licorice and olive on the deeply perfumed nose, along with cracked pepper and floral nuances that gain strength as the wine stretches out. Weighty and broad in the mouth, offering densely packed, spice-tinged black and blue fruit liqueur flavors and hints of candied flowers and bitter chocolate. In a distinctly rich style, showing strong closing thrust, steadily building tannins and resonating licorice and floral qualities.In Bond£100.00 -
Vinous (93)
Dark violet. Assertive aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry liqueur and violet take on olive and incense nuances with air. Juicy, focused and lively on the palate, offering an array of red and blue fruit, floral pastille and spice flavors that slowly deepen as the wine opens up. A long, spice- and mineral-driven finish features fine-grained tannins and resonating floral and spice notes.In Bond£87.00 -
Vinous (94)
Saturated ruby. Expressive blackberry and cherry compote scents are complemented by hints of exotic spices, smoked meat and olive. Round and fleshy but energetic as well, offering intense black and blue fruit and spicecake flavors that are underscored by a core of juicy acidity. A smoky bacon note lingers on the youthfully tannic finish, which shows strong, spice- and mineral-driven persistence.Inc. VAT£115.20
