A wine of great finesse and richness boasting delicate aromas of ripe pear and hazelnut with a firm mineral underpinning. The texture is creamy silky and subtle but not at all heavy. The restraint and elegance are remarkable and the sometimes over-the-top richness of Bâtard is absent. The grapes are from the half-hectare acquired from Domaine Monnot in 2008. They were gently pressed as whole clusters and are ageing at present in cask 50%?60% new. (Drink between 2030 - 2050). By Charles Curtis MW. 11/24

The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is lovely offering up aromas of pear orange zest and freshly baked bread framed by a deft touch of reduction. Full-bodied satiny and layered it's dense and seamless with a sweet core of fruit and a creamy textural profile. Reviewed by: William Kelley 01/25

Pale primrose colour. Energy here but with a lime infusion body and tension without any real excitement in the fruit. For top marks this Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet shows a little bit too much lime and not enough self-expression. By Jasper Morris 11/24
Vinous: 90-92 Points
The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a light bouquet featuring chalk dust and Granny Smith apples. This needs a little more mineralité and intensity. The palate is well balanced with fine matière. It's brisk with a citric finish that needs more sustain in the mouth. (Drink between 2025 - 2040). By Neal Martin 01/25

Cask sample. Not much nose at all! Good acidity and richness underneath. Obviously embryonic but where is the excitement? A disappointment. Though it gets better on the end. (JR) (Drink between 2029 - 2040). By Jancis Robinson MW 11/24
