CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2017 Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from a parcel acquired in 2008, a half-hectare parcel of around 13 long rows that stretches from the top to the bottom of the Grand Cru and actually continues into the Batard-Montachet. This has a well-defined, wet limestone-scented bouquet that feels very focused. The balanced palate displays neatly integrated oak (although there is now no new wood) and a tender, effervescent, sherbet-tinged finish. Excellent.

Wafting from the glass with notes of fresh peach, pear, lemon curd, nougat and white flowers, Faiveley's 2017 Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru is full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with a textural attack, fine depth at the core and a chalky, nicely defined finish.
