Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru – 2007 – 98 points – Wine Enthusiast
“A glorious outpouring of beautifully crafted Chardonnay, opulent but tightly mineral. The ripe apple and pear character has a delicate, elegant squeeze of lime, while the whole wine is underpinned by wood.”

“This elegant and firmly structured white evokes hazelnut, stone and pastry aromas and flavors. Bright and juicy, turning firmer and tighter on the finish. Spice and mineral flavors play out on the aftertaste.”
