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)
