Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Henri Clerc 2003

The wine

This rich, complex wine has aromas of lemon, butter, almond, honey and spices. A majestic wine, characterised by considerable creaminess. Full-bodied and powerful, this wine has impressive richness, developing a complex bouquet of fruit aromas, enhanced by some toasty, spicy notes at the finish. Sure to be a great wine for aging.

About the Producer Henri Clerc

Domaine Henri Clerc et Fils was founded in the 16th century in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet. In 2002, his descendant Bernard Clerc, retired and sold a large part of his vines to Vincent Girardin. The latter vinifies and matures his wines at Meursault, after manual harvesting of the prestigious vines of the Côte de Beaune, such as Bienvenue, Bâtard-Montrachet and Chevalier-Montrachet. The time taken for aging in oak barrels (of which 30% are renewed each year), varies between 11 and 13 months
