Batard Montrachet: What a fabulous treat!









The second day of ou stay, little did I know, when I mentioned I liked the white Montrachet wines, that Peter Muehlhausen, our host, would take out of his fabulous cellar ... a Batard Montrachet, Jean Noel Gagnard, 1991.
This great white Bourgogne wine (Grand Cru) is made with 100% chardonnay grapes, as all white Burgundy wines. This Appellation is the high end of the area wines.

Later on, as I was browsing the web to write this posting, I discovered that I had tasted a $500 wine bottle! WOW!
