Tasting note
The Ramonet family lost fully 90% of their crop to frost in this grand cru, but the 2016 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has turned out very well, offering up lovely aromas of green orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, fresh mint, pastry cream and iodine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, with broad shoulders and a textural attack but considerable cut and tension. In its tangy, incisive profile it harks back to the white Burgundies of yesteryear, and I suspect it will prove very long lived.
Score: 94
