Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2006 – 93(+?) points – Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar
"Pure aromas and flavors of lemon, lime and crushed stone. Wonderfully high-pitched in the mouth, with citrus peel and violet notes...giving it a magically light touch. Very precise...with superb acidity and captivating leesy complexity."

"Subtly complex nose combines peach, apple, pear, minerals, hazelnut and smoke. Explosively fruity in the mouth, with firm acidity and brisk citrus flavors...terrific focus and lift...Finishes firmly structured, vibrant and very long."
