Smoke, buttered toast, and pears can be found in the nose of the 2001 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet. A huge wine of sumptuous richness and breadth, it conquers the palate with dense layers of peaches, apricots, spices, and poached pears. Medium to full-bodied and chewy-textured, it is a boldly flavored, concentrated, sensual, decadent wine for drinking over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Robert Kacher Selections, Washington, DC; tel.
