Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2012 tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Bienvenue Bâtard Montrachet Grand Cru from Jean-Jacques Carillon feels more primal and straightforward on the nose compared to Girardin and Jean-Claude Bachelet, however in similar fashion to the latter, it improves in the glass and develops attractive cooking apple, fresh pear and kiwi fruit notes, perhaps even a touch of toffee. The palate is balanced on the entry with well-judged acidity, but it feels a little disjointed towards the spicy finish before recovering and coalescing, regaining its harmony. This is one of those wines that would have benefited from a longer decanting – a discrete white Burgundy for those with patience. Its nuances might have been overlooked in this comprehensive blind tasting, but it will evolve into something special.

Just one pièce of this wine! Quite light, subdued nose. Very solid and chewy but virtually unreadable at this early stage. So introvert! Lots of weight on the finish. Big and bold, with lots of lemon character on the pretty weighty finish. (JR)
