The Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet, revealing a rich, pear and mineral-infused nose, is an intense, powerful, deeply ripe, yet austere wine. Superbly-defined and softly-textured layers of stones, gravel, earth, and anise are found in this medium-to-full-bodied and highly-structured wine. Projected maturity: 2003-2010. Importer: Kobrand, Inc., New York, NY; (212) 490-9300.
