94/96

Clear bright mid yellow. This is discreet but very classy, with a sense of power to come. Finer all round than the Bâtard, and then with much more weight behind. This is exactly what the wine should be. Perfect pitch behind. Very good example.

95 point

Vinous and spicy, this is a concentrated - almost plump - wine that is nicely sculpted by crisp acidity and a vague sense of tannin. Smartly integrated oak compliments the pure, orchard fruit flavors. Despite the full body, there is a clear, underlying elegance and finesse.

93/95

The 2020 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more expressive and terroir-driven on the nose compared to the Bâtard-Montrachet. The palate is well-balanced with fine poise, taut and fresh, quite spicy towards the finish with admirable length. I can see this ageing well in bottle. Very fine.
