2015 Faiveley Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru, Cote d'Or, Burgundy. Big golden delicious apple with nashi pear nose. The palate reflects the nose, with a rich lemon meyer edge. There is restrained tropical notes, tight acid backbone. The oak is warm and comforting. Given the high quality fruit , this wine will just get better. Scallops in a lemon white wine sauce would make a happy match.
Pale, bright yellow. Expressive aromas of apple, lemon drop and noble herbs. Juicy, supple and suave, showing good spicy lift and restrained sweetness to its citrus and peppery herb flavors. I'm not sure I get grand cru palate presence or depth here but this wine boasts excellent acidity and definition for 2015 and finishes clean and persistent.
