An idiosyncratic wine, the 2003 Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet (white) sports a nose of kiwi, red berries, tangerines (reminiscent of Muscat), and papaya. Light to medium-bodied, bright, revealing delicate apple-laced mineral flavors and slightly tight, I was enamored by its exotic aromas as well as its lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 6 years.
