Description
By Vinous in 2020 (NM95-97)
The 2018 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a terse, stoic, delineated bouquet with scents of wet limestone and sea spray, just a slight menthol note developing with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity. A very pretty, elegant Bienvenue that reveals hints of blood orange and sour lemon on the precise, persistent finish. This is a gorgeous Bienvenue.
By Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in 2021 (WA94+)
Scents of pear, white flowers, almond paste, buttered toast, citrus zest and smoke preface the 2018 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied and satiny wine that’s layered and fleshy, with a satiny attack that segues into a tightly wound core and a chalky finish. This, too, should reward bottle age.
By Burghound in 2020 (AM92-95)
This is aromatically quite similar to the Pucelles but with perhaps just a bit more floral influences. The succulent and delicious though notably intense flavors possess excellent punch if not quite the same mid-palate density, all wrapped in a highly complex, balanced and harmonious finish. This too is wonderfully refined, classy and very stylish.
