Floral yet rich nose. One of the finer, more refined Bienvenues. Sleek. Perhaps very slightly lacking subtlety and still quite astringent but this should grow into a very pretty bottle. At the moment it finishes rather suddenly. (JR)

Score 91-92/100 · Drink 2003-2012, Pierre Rovani, Dec 2001
Year in and year out, Etienne Sauzet produces two and a half barrels of Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet and 2000 is no different. It sports fresh mineral and floral aromas, a medium body, and a concentrated, profound character. It is intense, coating the palate with minerals, and displays loads of delineation and purity. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2012. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
