Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet--Vintage 2000
Côte de Beaune, Paul Pernot
"Tasted side by side with the '99 Bienvenues. As good as the '99 is, it became clear that the 2000 is just a hair better with slightly fresher and more elegant honeysuckle, citrus and white flower aromas that lead to detailed, precise and wonderfully pure medium full flavors that possess postively gorgeous mouth feel and a classy, textured and long finish. This is a really impressive effort that offers near perfect balance and while it's not really a powerful wine, it doesn't lack for drive. I have raised my score slightly though the suggested drinking window remains unchanged, which is to say that this is approaching its peak drinking window though it should hold here for another decade."
