Rich, lush, corn, lemon. Punchy fruit with lots of acidity’s and length. Not subtle but fruity and fun — a month ago
The 2005 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru came from an original bottle, i.e., not reconditioned at the Domaine due to premox problems. It has a rich and concentrated bouquet, with hints of wild honey intermixed with white flowers and broom. It shows a wonderful definition, a hint of candy floss emerging with aeration. The palate is very well-balanced with great poise, a silver thread of acidity and a dash of white pepper and crustacea towards the sustained finish. Outstanding. Tasted at Clarette in London.

Lived up to all expectations. Beautiful balance, nose and structure. Crisp stone fruits, slight mineral, hint of pineapple at end. Love it — 3 months ago
Yes. Still very tightly end, there’s a feeling of complexity and subtlety from the tightly wound Orchard fruit. The focus is under underlying tension, with a touch of woodsy hazelnut and a long acid driven finish. Reminds me of PYCM in a good way — 8 days ago
Wonderfully steely and austere. A tad young but this wine’s reserved nature just made its mineral and finish more interesting to me. Apple and some green fruit. Paired with an eight course French seafood meal this wine was the perfect one to be at the wheel. Fantastic! — 3 months ago

Lime green in color. Lovely and fresh. Bright limestone and lucid citrus. Floral notes. Refined and focused and long. — a month ago
