The toasted mineral-scented 2003 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet (white) (total production: 80 cases) is medium-bodied, sappy, and suave. Resin-laced minerals are intermingled with toast in this glycerin-imbued effort. In addition, its long, supple finish reveals notes of creamed almonds. Anticipated maturity: now-2013.
