Tasting notes
Notably deep colour. Sweet, vanilla nose. Big and broad and beefy. This wine grabs the attention rather than earns it. Chunky rather than elegant. Dry finish. (JR)

The 2000 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet has an explosive mineral, pear, and apple-scented nose. Medium-bodied and profound, it reveals pear, toast, stone, gravel, and fresh earth flavors in its highly expressive and persistent character. Projected maturity: 2005-2012.
