This was an absolute pleasure on the day (tasted whilst overlooking London from The Hilton Park Lane, to add some panache). Pears, saffron, clementine. There's a lovely savouriness to the fruit. Succulent, fleshy, very well balanced and wonderfully poised. Such length. Equal in grandiosity to every London monument spied from this height. Magnificent achievement. Drinking range: 2025 - 2039 L&S (Nov 2021)

Here too the nose is cool and restrained with a discreet application of wood framing the layered aromas of honeysuckle, white peach and a variety of floral nuances. The refined and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration before terminating in a persistent, balanced and dry finale. This is also understated and lovely with the balance and material to reward at least a decade of aging. Drinking range: 2030 - Rating: 92-94 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2022)
Aromas of hazelnuts, pear, confit citrus, honeycomb, toasted almonds and fresh bread introduce the 2020 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, a full-bodied, rich and muscular wine that's layered and concentrated, girdled by bright acids and concluding with a long, saline finish. Rating: 93-95 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)
Pale lemon colour, this also is quite discreet though there’s a bit more to it. Lovely racy backbone to this with energy and length. Medium bodied for a grand cru but definitely has the finesse we look for in Bienvenues. Tasted: November 2021 Rating: 93-95 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Jan 2022)
