2010 Domaine Jacques Carillon, Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 96

Subtle layers of lightly honeyed fruit, almonds, spices and pears wrap around the palate as the 2010 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet shows off its class and personality. With time in the glass, the wine continues to open up as it gains richness and textural volume. The 2010 is pure Bienvenues in its silkiness and overall polish. Intense saline notes appear on the finish, but in the end the Bienvenues is all about textural elegance and sheer finesse. The 2010 is a fabulous effort from Jacques Carillon.

Anticipated maturity: 2014-2014
