Pale yellow. Sexy, leesy aromas of white peach, smoke, minerals and flowers. Sweet, intense and fine-grained, with harmonious lemony acidity giving shape to the stone fruit and floral flavors. Long on the aftertaste. Easier to taste today than the Combettes, which is atypical for these two bottlings.

The 2013 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is very reserved, you could almost say “timid” on the nose at the moment, reticent to say the least. The palate is taut and crisp with notes of Granny Smith apple, citrus lemon and a touch of spice. It begins to lose its inhibitions toward the saline, sour lemon-tinged finish. Certainly this will deserve four or five years in bottle, but I wonder whether it will surpass Benoît's best premier crus in 2013?

Pale yellow. White peach lifted by white flowers on the nose. Juicy and nicely delineated, delivering strong cut and an intense lemon flavor. Showing less volume than the Combettes but much more taut today.
