This is really exactly what I want when I open a bottle of Bienvenues. That raciness and mineralogy combined not with the fattiness of the batard but the power of the batard. White peaches, crushed stone, and just the faintest hint of batard bubblegum flavor. Well done Boillot. Really quite something.

Very fine and elegant with a pretty nose of blossom, lemon and white peach. Nice balance and proportion in the mouth and good build. The finish is quite chalky.

Popped and poured. Spice, fennel seed, white orchard fruit aromas on the nose. The palate is lively, showing a tension between the deep lemon-infused flavors and the taut mineral-laced acid texture. I liked this more as it sat in the glass.

Dense, compact and linear. Crammed with sappy orchard fruits. Great drive and a finish that is laden with chalky dry extract.
