1999’/Score: 94’ / Tasted: May 30, 2008 / Drink: Now+ / Issue:
Tasting note: A now fully mature nose of lemon-lime and white flower aromas lead to rich and muscular flavors that possess excellent depth and punch. For all its size and power, it remains symmetrical and solidly balanced by the ripe supporting acidity and the length is absolutely show stopping. This is a reference standard Bâtard that is drinking perfectly and happily, I have had no run-ins with premature oxidation with this particular ’99 Sauzet though I have with some of the other wines in the range. For my taste, this has arrived at its full maturity though it should be capable of holding here for at least another decade.
2001’/Score: 93’/ Tasted: Jul 01, 2003 / Drink: 2008-15 / Issue: 11
Note: from vines in both Puligny and Chassagne aged in 50% new wood Tasting note: Explosive and astonishingly broad in its aromatic profile with spice, ripe peach and apricot aromas and plenty of precision followed by rich, muscular, extremely powerful flavors of exceptional length and palate staining intensity. A first rate effort that is only a notch behind the incredible 2000. Outside of the Montrachet, the best wine here today.
2010’/Score: 93-96 /Tasted: Jun 01,2012 /Drink: 2022+ /Issue: 47 Do’nt Miss Note: 100% from domaine-owned vines in Puligny and aged in 50% new wood
Tasting note: As is typically the case this is slightly riper than the Bienvenues with a pretty and densely fruited nose of white peach, pear, acacia blossom and background hints of citrus and toast. As is also typical, this large-scaled, intense, concentrated and overtly powerful effort is clearly bigger, richer and more imposing than its grand cru partner. The complexity is simply fantastic as is the persistence of the palate staining finish. While I usually am more impressed by finesse and refinement than power as it’s much harder to achieve, the extra depth and stunning length of the Bâtard gives it the nod in 2010. Note that this is also bone dry and will need every bit of 12 to 15 years to arrive at its apogee. In a word, wow.
2011’/Score: 92-95/ Tasted: Jun 11, 2013/ Drink: 2019+/ Issue: 51 Note: 100% from domaine-owned vines in Puligny and aged in 50% new wood
Tasting note: Here the expressive nose is not quite as elegant but it’s every bit as complex and ever-so-slightly riper as well with its well-layered aromas of apricot, mango and pear, dried floral elements and subtle spice and wood nuances. There is a highly seductive quality to the imposingly concentrated and sleekly muscular flavors that brim with plenty of mouth coating dry extract before culminating in a vibrant, saline and markedly dry finish that, like the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, delivers outstanding length. This is a powerful effort that will require the better part of a decade to reveal its full potential. |
