Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet, Grand Cru, 2010
One of the most textured and pliable Grand Crus, the palate initially explodes with an attack of flowers and fruit, tensing up and closing a little on the mid-palate; this may need some time to unravel but the wine comes back in force on the finish, showing richness presence and great persistence. An old vine parcel planted in 1959; the oldest at the domaine.
critic reviews
(bottled three weeks prior to my visit): Bright yellow. Subdued aromas of white peach, pineapple and white flowers lifted by spicy clove oil. At once elegant and penetrating, showing superb depth and building energy to its bracing citrus-dominated flavors. Nothing exotic about this beauty. Really leaves the taste buds vibrating. A great showing for this pure, beautifully balanced baby: I'd cellar it for a decade.
