Tasting note: This is also quite ripe but less overtly so
and remains notably more elegant with its expressive nose of
honeysuckle, acacia blossom, pear and apple aromas. In accordance with
the superior freshness, there is a bit more energy as well with a solid
acid spine shaping the delicious and extract-rich medium weight plus
flavors that possess excellent density on the vibrant, mouth coating and
strikingly long finish. In a word, terrific. (95+ pts. Allen Meadows, AKA “The Burghound”)

Tasting note: The 2009 Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet is a step up in quality from the
Criots. It is a beautiful, expansive wine that flows with considerable
personality and class. Layers of perfume fruit take shape beautifully as
the wine shows of its pliancy and intensity. The finish retains tons of
energy and nuance. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. (93 pts. AG, Wine Advocate)

Tasting note: Very reticent nose hints at crystallized
citrus fruits and pineapple. Then sweet, fat, tactile and suave, with a
sexy note of honeysuckle. This really fills the mouth with perfume
without coming off as weighty. Finishes very long and fine, with real
grand cru class. (But it's not better than the Meursault Perrieres.) (92-95pts. Stephen Tanzer)
Tasted: Sep/Oct 2010
Score: 92-95
