Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 1997
Côte de Beaune, Domaine Neillon
". . .Sadly, Niellon plans to rip out his parcel of Batard-Montrachet after the 2000 harvest. Planted in 1928, these old vines have produced numerous stunning wines. The 1997 offers hyper-ripe pear and apple aromas, as well as a highly concentrated and extracted core of fruit. This is an extremely profound wine, with intense honeyed fruit cake flavors, as well as an opulent, viscous, and almost flabby texture. If it had better balance there is no telling how high my score could have gone. Drink it over the next 5-6 years." Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #121 (February 1999)
