Tasting at Louis Jadot (Beaune): From the Puligny side of Batard. The nose here too is serious and brooding, though you get a brightness that hints at the complexity to come. The palate is rich and fat with copious amounts of round fruit that is balanced with juicy acidity. A harmonious wine. 93-95

Burgundy, Day 1 (Beaune, France): I found this a little high-toned and while this was certainly a very convincing bottle of chardonnay, this seemed to lack the fatness I associate with Bâtard, and instead you get more of the racy minerality from Chevalier. Perhaps that's due to this coming from the Puligny side of the vineyard? This will improve with time; given the switch to DIAM at Jadot, we may yet be able to see that improvement come to light.

Tasting at Louis Jadot (Beaune): Immediate step up in concentration and seriousness. Very broad and rich with nice layering. The fruit has a fatness but well offset by fresh acids. Think the vintage suits this wine. 92-94
