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.

Medium lemon yellow . Touch herbal , with a mineral tinge , white flowers also , pretty young tasting . On the palate more round and dense , with a creamy slightly buttery character . Lemon rind , citrus , white peach, good intensity . Good balanced acidity , slightly noticeable alcohol . Good length, still quite young . Good now and over the next 4-6 years — 5 hours ago
