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.

Just two barrels of this were made, both new oak. The nose is discreet; it is too early for the wine to speak, but the palate has everything – oak, pears, a thread of acidity, cashmere texture and great length. Very fine, persistent finish. Drink 2022-2029.

The biodynamic Bachelet boys, Benoît and Jean-Baptiste, began picking on 3rd September, reporting  very good yields in white, close to the ideal, but down in red. The whites are superb again this year, scarcely showing any sense of heat, but enjoying excellent concentration with good balancing acidity. I would sign up for this every year, says Jean-Baptiste! As always, the wines will stay in barrel for nearly two years before bottling.

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.
