Critics Ratings

'A subtly spicy honey-suckle and citrus-infused nose is the perfect introduction to the pure and exceptionally fresh, indeed even racy flavors that are full of energy while culminating in a finish that exudes that wonderful sense of underlying tension. This is always the best wine in the Carillon range but in '06, it truly separates itself from the rest of the field.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91-94/100 (Jul 2008)

'The 2006 Bienvenue Batard Montrachet has a slightly honeyed bouquet with touches of lanolin and yellow flowers, perhaps a hint of walnut oil developing with time. Returning later, there is an attractive touch of custard cream. The palate is well-balanced with a touch of spice on the entry and hints of tangerine emerging on the nicely poised finish that demonstrate good length.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Oct 2014)

'Pure, subdued aromas of minerals, truffle, hazelnut and vanilla. Sweet but pure, with excellent cut and precision to the minerally mid-palate. Not a fat style but there's plenty of extract here, not to mention terrific energy. The building finish is chewy and suave, with lovely aromatic persistence and a lingering spice character.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 93/100 (Sept 2008)
