Note di degustazione
Pale yellow-green. Lively lime and mint aromas complicated by vintage-typical lichee and licorice. Sweet on entry, then a bit exotic in the middle palate and less pure than the Pucelles. Finishes with a touch of alcoholic dryness but sound acidity. Distinctly awkward today and in need of time in bottle.

Buttered toast and sweet white fruits can be found in the aromatics of the 2003 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet (white). Armed with outstanding depth of fruit, this dense, lush, layered wine releases waves of candied minerals and pulp-laden pears on the palate. Medium-bodied and velvety-textured, it also possesses an impressively long finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
Fragrant aromas of lime, nut oil and spicy oak. Chewy and penetrating but quite dry; hints at a solid core of fruit and yet I find only limited flesh and depth of flavor. This, too, seems a bit dried by sulfur and in need of a racking.
