Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2012 – 92 – 94 points – The Wine Advocate
92 points
“The 2012 Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a laconic stony, mineral bouquet with sea spray scents surfacing with time. The palate is very well-balanced with crisp acidity, although at the moment the Bienvenue shows a little more finesse and precision. After five minutes, there is a touch of spice that becomes more accentuated with time. As usual for this vineyard, it is reticent at the moment, perturbed why someone would awake it from its prenatal slumber, but this will be fascinating to watch age.”
