Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2011
Svelte, exquisitely silky and refined, a little reserved initially but so pretty. Floral fruit blossom and citrus notes with a fine thread of acidity. Intense but closed, this will need time, but the remarkably haunting and nuanced finish points towards a very great wine indeed. An old vine parcel planted in 1959; the oldest at the domaine.
critic reviews
(the grand crus were bottled about five weeks before my visit): Pale, bright green-yellow. Precise, high-pitched aromas of lime, white flowers and crushed stone. Then juicy and supple on the palate, with enticing sweetness to its pure, sharply delineated flavors of lime and orange. Impeccably balanced Bienvenue with nothing fat or warm about it. Really sparkles on the powerful, mounting finish.
