Tasting notes
A pure and dense nose of honeysuckle, acacia and citrus peel complements classy, rich, refined and equally pure medium plus weight flavors that are also blessed with copious amounts of dry extract that perfectly buffer the firm acidity, all wrapped in a gorgeously long, intense and driving finish. While perhaps not the best Bienvenues Boudot has ever produced, it is the best young example that I have ever seen.

Good bright, pale yellow. Pure, stony aromas of yellow fruits. Juicy and densely packed, with nicely concentrated flavors of crystallized citrus peel. Not yet showing its personality, but this is much less exotic than some of the foregoing premier crus. In fact, this is downright pure and elegant for '06. These very old vines produced just 30 hectoliters per hectare in '06, notes Boudot.
