Background information

  • In vintage 1995: batonnage information not known, however this domaine is known not to favor batonnage.
  • In vintage 1996: allegedly no batonnage. (Note: Ramonet claims H2O2 in corks caused oxidation in Batard and Ruchottes)
  • In vintages 1999 and 2000: very little lees stirring believing the batonnage “standardizes the wines.”

  • Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet(Jan-Mar 2007): no oxidation and brilliant, but utterly open and ready to drink.
