(BH93-95 points) Here the equally expressive nose is quite similar to that of the Pucelles save for the fact that it's ever-so-slightly riper and perhaps a bit more complex as well. Otherwise there is more volume to the sleek and tautly muscular medium weight flavors that possess a highly attractive underlying tension that adds a real sense of vibrancy on the slightly more powerful and more persistent finale where the supporting acidity is perfectly well-integrated. This impeccably well-balanced beauty should age effortlessly for years to come.

(WA93-95 points) The 2014 Bienvenue Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru has a come-hither bouquet that is very immediate: passion fruit, apricot blossom, cold stone and even a faint touch of strawberry winegums. The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity, good weight in the mouth with a touch of citrus lemon and lime, but perhaps just needing more complexity and terroir expression to come through on the finish. This is one of the best 2014 Bienvenues that I have come across -- an absolute delight. - Neal Martin
