Bienvenue Bâtard Montrachet, Etienne Sauzet 2019

Elegant and equally pure aromas include those of honeysuckle, freshly sliced fennel, spice and ripe but cool white peach, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is outstanding density to the solidly powerful yet beautifully refined and generously proportioned flavors that are shaped by lemon-tinged acidity on the palate drenching finish that goes on and on. This is a terrific if decidedly big BBM that should age gracefully for a decade plus. Note: from a .19 ha parcel where the oldest vines of the Domaine were planted in 1938
