Ratings: 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 within the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet. At the foot of the Bâtards and Montrachets, it produces white wines of international renown, recognized as among the greatest Chardonnays in the world... This 2007 brilliantly expresses the full potential of the cru, with great character and exceptional aging potential.

About the estate:
A historic estate, first documented in the 18th century, that today spans 24 hectares. At the helm are Roger Belland, who took over in 1981; his daughter Julie, who joined in 2003 and oversees winemaking; and their new colleague, Martin Boyer. While not certified organic, the estate practices sustainable and carefully managed viticulture (full grass cover in the vineyard, no herbicides) and produces wines of great consistency.
