Seventeenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): In 2011-2013 vertical, alongside the Ramonet 2013 Bâtard-Montrachet. Rich, layered and complex with something sweet and lots savory. This kept getting better in glass, and is likely to still have upside.

is an absolute powerhouse of a wine and a top notch wine for not just 2013 but in general. The wine is OOOOOOOOOOOOZING with ripe and concentrated baskets of peach and pear. It's sweet but well spiced. The wine just stretches and fills every angle. It's matched with Pikachu levels of electric acidity that just makes the wine so vibrant. So good. I might say right now it's better than the 2013 Chevalier Montrachet

Initially quite a bit of reduction but that subsides with air. Wow crazy fruit density with notes of peach, pear. Hint of honey on the palate balanced with brilliant and bright acidity. What a wine. wow.

Big Burg Energy: Waxy, unctuous, rich, persistent. Lovely balance, never cloying or too over the top. Only improved with more air. This wine is insane. Such a wide difference than any Moreau I've ever had. Coat my tongue with this lovely elixir again, baby.

Bernard Moreau's 2013 Bâtard-Montrachet is even richer and more concentrated than the Chevy, which is saying something, with ripe apple, pear, and significant spice. Big boned. Spiced apple on the palate, gaining a slight tropical bent with air. Drink now through 2030.
I find the Chevalier a more complete wine but I can see someone who likes blockbuster wines preferring the Bâtard.
