2004 Domaine Paul Pernot Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

Pale, green-tinged color. Musky, spicy aromas of lemon cream, flowers and hazelnut; more complex and more expressive than the Bienvenue. Fatter, riper and sweeter on the palate than the Bienvenue and much easier to taste today. Fruit and mineral flavors are lifted by a floral element. Very harmonious young grand cru with an enticing sugar/acid balance. Persistent, stony aftertaste.
