Reviews
"Fresh pure colour. The nose is discreet but shows already everything that Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is about – that element of white fruit in cashmere texture without the obvious weight of Bâtard. Heady, with a little upward surge after a fresh apple start to the palate. Comes through in a strong limestone vein, with subtlety within the persistent finish. The nose seems floral after tasting the Chevalier-Montrachet alongside. Very fine indeed.

"Not a forward nose but there’s much more on show than was the case for the Charlemagne – higher tones here. Volume – ooh – directly there’s clarity – clearly showing more flamboyantly and open than the Charlemagne. Fluidity then a really growing complexity of finishing flavour too – that’s great."
"High-toned, floral, and intense, with a persistent and elegant finish. It’s restrained and pure and clean-cut."
