Domaine Roger Belland - Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2007

Domaine Roger Belland - Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2007

Notes: RVF 16.5/20, Gault Millau 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20, Hachette 2** (remarkable wine)
Criots-Bâtard is the only Grand Cru in the Montrachet family to be located exclusively in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet. At the foot of the Bâtards and Montrachets, it produces internationally renowned white wines, recognized as some of the greatest Chardonnays in the world... This 2007 brilliantly expresses the full potential of the vintage, with great personality and excellent aging potential.

About the estate:

An old estate, with records dating back to the 18th century, now covering 24 hectares. At its helm are Roger Belland, who took over in 1981, his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and is in charge of winemaking, and their new colleague Martin Boyer. No certified organic status here, but sustainable and controlled viticulture (total grass cover in the vineyard, no weedkillers), and wines of great consistency.
