The Bienvenue Batard Montrachet, made from 60 year old vines, offers an elegant floral and buttery nose. This fat, viscous, oily-textured wine is packed with dense, candied and spicy fruit, and exhibits the necessary structure to age well. Drink it between 1999-2010. The wine was bottled three days prior to my visit. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. An asterisk indicates that the wine was produced from vineyards owned by this domaine. No asterisk indicates that the wine was produced from purchased fruit, must, or wine. Boudot believes that what characterizes his lower and medium level wines in the 1995 vintage is abundant concentrated, dry extract fruit - without great balancing acid...I agree. He is extremely excited about the '96s, saying they "exhibit phenomenally concentrated fruit and great balancing acid. " Importer: Vineyard Brands, Chester, VT; tel (802) 875-2139.
