2010 Bienvenues Batard Montrachet

(just a single new barrel of this juice, from a tiny crop of 22 hectoliters per hectare; 13.8% alcohol): Light-medium yellow. Brisk nose combines quinine, orange oil, minerals and obvious new oak. Oily, concentrated and strong, with ripe peach and apricot flavors complicated by saline soil tones. Finishes very long and a bit tannic, with a late suggestion of gunflint. Very densely packed grand cru.
