Les Bâtardes 2018 continues to seduce us with its finesse and authenticity. Black fruit is present on the nose as well as on the palate, accompanied by spicy notes. Ample, structured and with delicate tannins, the palate is all elegance and harmony.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated (2020 guide) 15.5/20 (2017 vintage) (Very good wine)

Domain rated (2020 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)

About the domain :

The great adventure continues for Grégory Viennois and Delphine Carré, alongside their respective activities for domains Laroche. This pure red wine merchant in the Irancy appellation was missing from the region's landscape, especially since they launched with the splendid 2015 vintage. In 2016, they preferred to blend everything into a single cuvée, but the 2017s feature the now customary three cuvées, with an absolutely splendid beaux-monts. Reserve your cuvées early at the domaine!

Rated wine (2020 guide) 3*Favorite (Vintage 2017) (Exceptional wine)

Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

A very young négoce founded in 2015 by Delphine and Grégory Viennois. The former comes from a family of winegrowers and has worked in some of Burgundy's top houses. The second, also from Burgundy and with a degree in oenology, has a fine CV: he learned the trade with Nadine Gublin (Dom. Jacques Prieur) and Jean-Pierre de Smet (Dom. de l'Arlot), vinified at Ch. Smith-Haut-Lafitte, was technical director of Michel Chapoutier and general manager of Ferraton Père & Fils. Since 2011, he has been technical director of Dom. Laroche in Chablis and has been a consultant to Quinta Do Monte d'Oiro in Portugal since 2006.

Note and review by M. ENOAL D. Published on 07/12/2020

for an Irancy, it's not all that bad! All lace in an excellent vintage, it's very likeable and shows that the appellation has a lot to show!
