The nose is immediately grand: ripe white peach, golden apple, apricot, mango, and citrus curd, unfolding with layered precision rather than heaviness. Acacia, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and jasmine form an expansive floral halo, while a deep limestone core of chalk, oyster shell, and wet stone anchors the wine with quiet authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"857\"\u003eOn the palate, this is grand white Burgundy at full scale yet without excess weight. The texture is broad, silky, and naturally glyceric, giving real volume without oak-derived fatness. Bright, precise acidity cuts through the richness, keeping the wine vertical and energetic rather than opulent or heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003eThe mid-palate builds in complexity: white peach and citrus layered with hazelnut, beeswax, honeycomb, truffle, and a saline mineral spine. Everything feels integrated, with fruit, floral lift, and limestone structure moving in harmony rather than contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1401\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe finish is very long and layered, shifting from ripe fruit to chalk, oyster shell, and toasted nuts, ending on a clean mineral echo that persists for minutes. A Bâtard-Montrachet of both power and restraint, built for decades of evolution while offering early aromatic brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Burgundy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e100% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings:\u003c\/strong\u003e BH 93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest serve at 10 – 12°C\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philippe Pacalet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45805124780193,"sku":"BY-PP4423","price":2135.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/9153\/1169\/files\/PACALET-BATARD-MONTRACHET-GC-2022.jpg?v=1737017083","url":"https:\/\/www.aether-wines.com\/products\/batard-montrachet-grand-cru-2023","provider":"Aether-wines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
