Score 93-94/100 · Drink 2008-2016, Pierre Rovani, Feb 2004
Rich, earthy aromas can be found in the nose of the 2002 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet. Big, broad, fleshy, and deep, it coats the taster’s palate with minerals, quartz, quinine, and sappy minerals. Focused and highly delineated, it also reveals an exceptionally long finish. Drink it between 2008 and 2016. Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802. In addition, Vincent Girardin sells many of these same wines under the Baron de la Charriere label to European Cellars, Eric Solomon, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949

Smoky nose and woodsmoke excitement. Big and bold and a relatively brawny baby. Genuinely interesting. Bravo! Really nerveux and exciting. (JR)
