This is the smallest of the grand crus of Puligny-Montrachet, a mere 8.6 acres. This wine shows the vineyard’s typical elegance, with delicious flavors of pears, almonds and vanilla, hovering on the palate for minutes, leaving a dancing freshness. ——R.V.(12/1/2006)—— 94

Latour's medium to full-bodied Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet's aromatic and flavor intensity leave little doubt to its quality. Brandishing scents of well-ripened yellow fruits and minerals, this deep, medium to full-bodied, and powerful wine is silky-textured, rich, and possesses an extraordinarily long finish. Well-concentrated and highly expressive, it should be at its best if drunk over the course of the next 5-6 years. Louis Latour is represented by a different importer for each state.
