Neal Martin MW 90-92/100
The 2016 Bienvenue-Btard-Montrachet Grand Cru was quite reduced on the nose. The palate is nicely balanced with good concentration, quite nutty and Meursault-like in style and sporting appreciable salinit toward the finish that fans out. Good potential, but give this a couple of years in bottle. I will remain cautious with my score for now.Neil Martin - 29/12/2017

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
