Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet is the smallest Grand Cru in the Côte de Beaune, a jewel of barely 1.57 hectares adjoining the legendary Bâtard-Montrachet. Its limited size makes it one of Burgundy’s rarest treasures, renowned for producing wines of exceptional intensity and refinement. The vineyard’s limestone-rich soils yield whites that combine power with extraordinary minerality.

The Grand Cru
Joseph Drouhin’s Approach
For Joseph Drouhin, the philosophy is one of elegance and restraint, allowing terroir to shine through. The grapes are farmed organically and biodynamically, with meticulous attention in both vineyard and cellar. Fermentation and ageing in French oak casks are guided by a light touch, creating wines that express purity and harmony rather than excess.
Character of the 2022 Vintage
The 2022 vintage in Burgundy brought generous ripeness balanced by freshness, offering wines with both depth and vibrancy. In Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, this translates into a Grand Cru of striking richness, layered aromas, and a long, precise finish. It is a wine of immediate appeal but also remarkable ageing potential, embodying both the generosity of the year and the timeless elegance of the terroir.
