Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2009
justerini & brooks tasting note
An old vine parcel planted in 1959, the oldest at the domaine; a classic Bienvenue that is so beautifully scented and so incredibly seductive, round but long and very intense with smooth, floral, ripe fruit characteristics.

93+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Bright medium yellow. Pungent aromas of citrus fruits, white peach and crushed stone. Sweet but with a light touch to its peach and lime flavors. Bright acidity gives this tightly wound wine lovely balance. Finishes chewy and dry, with considerable elegance. Shows the cru more than the vintage.
