Decanter über: Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Decanter: Bienvenues is generally less powerful than Bâtard at Leflaive, and that's certainly the case here. But what this impressive grand cru lacks in terms of weight, it more than makes up for with precision. Tangerine and pink grapefruit flavours segue into a fresh, textured finish embellished by oak. 97/100

Suckling über: Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Suckling: Ripe-pear and intensely flinty aromas mingle in the nose of this youthful white Burgundy. Powerful tannin structure on the sleek and very focused palate with delicate candied orange on the creamy mid-palate. Then radical minerality bursts out at the very concentrated and long finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2023. 97/100

Parker über: Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Parker: Like the Pucelles, the 2017 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is quite tensile and reserved, unfurling in the glass with aromas of green orchard fruit, iodine, orange rind and creamy new wood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, textural and fleshy, but taut—even firm—at the core, with good concentration, tangy acid and a bright, chalky finish. Like all these releases, I'm looking forward to seeing it from bottle. 93-95+/100

Galloni über: Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru

-- Galloni: Ripe yellow stone fruits and hazelnut on the nose. Dense, sappy and quite dry, with its rather bracing acidity (at the high end for these '17s) giving the saline middle palate outstanding precision. This very tight wine is not yet displaying grand cru weight or palate presence but it spreads out and vibrates on the very long, pure, slowly building back end. This was the first '17 to finish both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, which may explain its peacock's tail of a finish. 92-95/100
