Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2010 are: “The 2010 Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has an elegant nose, quite feminine with well-integrated oak (90 percent new for 9 months.) With further investigation there are attractive orange-blossom scents intermingling with grilled almonds. The palate is well-balanced with hints of praline and citrus peel, building to a confident and cohesive finish. This is a fine Criots, drinking perfectly now. Drink now-2019+.”

Today Domaine Roger Belland is managed by Roger Belland along with his daughter Julie, and Martin Boyer. Roger Belland is the 5th generation winemaker, he took over from his father and managed to enlarge the estate from 14 to 23 hectares.
