Sadly this superb wine is only available in tiny quantities. From new barrel it shows a typically toasty nose but with sublime fruit percolating through it. This has real star quality this year, scintillating fruit with a beautiful long mineral aftertaste, along with a silky feel.

An attractive pale yellow in colour, this has some wood on the nose from new barrels, along with a little bit of gunflint. Tensely wound, extra concentrated and with a sense of balance, this wine also has extra dimensions – a multi-layered finish, lively acidity and fresh, ripe fruit. Tense and delicious.

Benoît and Jean-Baptiste Bachelet have made a great range of wines in 2014, though unfortunately they had another short-ish crop, similar to 2013 but lower in red. They adore the excellent fruit/acid balance, and the ripe fruit flavours without high alcohol levels. The wines will stay in barrel until the spring and will not be bottled until late July 2016.

This Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is an exceptional wine at a very reasonable price. The nose is bursting with rich fruit which continues in the mouth for what seems like an age. There is sensational length and the flavours are topped off with just the right leavening of new oak.
