Vinous - Neal Martin (94)The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprises three barrels this year. This has a sublime bouquet with outstanding delineation: a mixture of white and yellow fruit suffused with crushed stone and light oyster shell scents. The palate is surfeit with energy and just a very slight reduction. Hints of tropical fruit (passion fruit and pineapple) emerge toward the finish. This leans slightly to the exotic side but in a positive way. This will be very seductive. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has a pretty nose of lime flower, lemon and orange pith scents that is well defined and focused, improving in the glass. The palate is rounded in texture but lacks a bit of acidity, attractive in terms of its texture, yet the finish misses some energy and tension. I was never quite taken with this cuvée after bottling vis-à-vis other cuvées, and that is confirmed here. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |
