50% Chardonnay, 50% Pinot Bianco |
History |
Between 1988 and 1991 the wine used to be called Bâtard-Pinot, and it was a blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Between 1992 and 1994, the name was Bâtard (without ‘-Pinot’), because Chardonnay had been added to the blend. In 1995 the name was changed to Batàr, in order to avoid confusion with French AOCs of Burgundy whose name contains the word ‘Bâtard’ (Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet and Bâtard-Montrachet). |

Vinification |
Juice is slowly and gently extracted with a press. The fermentation takes place in barriques and undergoes a full malolactic fermentation. |
