Cuvée des Lilas
Vintages produced : 2015 - 2018 - 2019
This wine features shades ranging from topaz to emerald. The bouquet evokes fresh bread and honey.
On the palate, Bâtard Montrachet offers a wonderfully balanced combination of dried fruits, spices and honey.
From its stunning smoothness, soft mouthfeel and depth, this gracious wine has everything it takes to delight the most discerning of palates.
With its aromatic strength and smooth, refined texture, Bâtard Montrachet is the perfect companion for high-quality shellfish as well as refined white fish whose subtle flavour will be delicately matched by this rare wine.
History (or legend?) has it that during the Crusades the Lord of Montrachet, his son having left for the Holy Land, killed time by visiting the local maidens at “Clos des Pucelles”. A child was born a few months later. The all-powerful Duke of Burgundy decreed that the Lord would be named Montrachet the Elder, his son on the Crusades would be known as Chevalier Montrachet, and the last born was titled Bâtard (or bastard) Montrachet. When news broke that the Lord’s oldest son had died in the Holy Land, the second son was acclaimed to the sound of “Welcome Bâtard Montrachet!”. To complete the story, rumour has it that the Lord, irritated by the tears of his young son, regularly shouted in Burgundian dialect “a crio (he’s screeching), the Bâtard”. When the Château was destroyed, in memory of the escapades of its illustrious occupant, the vines were given the various names that have now come to symbolise the very best of the great white wines of Burgundy (extract from Encyclopédie des Vins de France published by EDITA).
