Criots Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru 2022

Tasting Note 

Clear and crystalline with emerald-green flashes, the bouquet shows delicate acacia blossom with a touch of toasted bread. On the palate, it is both refined and powerful, unfolding flavours of honey, passionfruit, and grilled almond. Ample and full, this Grand Cru wine demonstrates remarkable depth and presence.
