Note di degustazione
Very ripe, pure aroma of peach, flowers and mint. Densely packed and sweet; almost sugary. Wonderfully sweet, creamy, peachy wine; the densest and chewiest of these 2003s but not at all heavy, owing to its vibrant minerality. In fact, the overall impression here is of sound, harmonious acidity. This, the Combettes and the Perrieres have tightened up since the bottling last December, notes Carillon, who told me that the acid levels of these wines are in the decent 3.5 range.

Vanilla beans and minerals make up the nose of the 2003 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet (white). Silky-textured and medium-bodied, it displays a fleshy personality with resiny mineral, spice, and toast flavors. This wine’s personality lingers in its seamless, appealing finish. It should be consumed over the next 7 years. Importers: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802; Neal Rosenthal Wine Merchant, New York, NY; tel.

(aging in just a single two-year-old barrel) Tangerine, peach and flowers on the nose. Superconcentrated and stuffed with soft citrus fruit. Chewy and fat wine, with terrific density of material. This boasts very good acidity for the vintage, yet comes across as less minerally and long than usual for this cuvee , as well as less vibrant and nuanced. Finishes with a bit of youthful toughness.
