Produced from 64-year old vines, the 2001 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet bursts forth with a beguilingly spicy nose. Expansive, broad, and revealing outstanding amplitude, it is a powerfully flavored, medium-bodied offering. Loads of pears, minerals, and spices are found in its lengthy character. Projected maturity: 2004-2012.
