2016 Domaine Faiveley Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru

Pale, clear yellow color and an elegant yet powerful nose combining white and yellow fruits, white flowers (acacia and orange blossom) and freshly baked brioche. The palate is delicate yet distinctive and characterized by aromas of stewed fruits and candied lemon. The finish is fresh and lively with exceptional length.

BH93 Like the Blagny, the fruit is overwhelmed by the strong reduction and wood influences. The caressing and notably finer medium-bodied flavors possess very good mid-palate density while displaying focused power on the balanced and sneaky long finish. This needs to develop more depth but the underlying material appears to be present such that it should be able to do that.
