Faiveley Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2023

97 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Wonderfully fresh and fine, the mineral power creeping up and pouring over you in a great wave. Superb elegance and a fabulous textural complexity on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Superlong finish with enveloping, chalky minerality. Fermented and matured in 50% new oak barriques and 50% once-used barriques. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (5/28/25)"

96 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "There may just be 12 rows of vines, but they do add up to a rather generous 0.51 ha and make Faiveley the second largest holder of this cru. Succulent Comice pear, Meyer lemon, pomelo pulp and banana bread spice dazzle with their complexity and intensity. Arching acidity suavely combines with the custardy mid-palate creaminess to deliver a beautifully balanced palate. Ethereal. (Jan 2025)"

94-96 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2023 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is lovely, offering up aromas of pear, orange zest and freshly baked bread, framed by a deft touch of reduction. Full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's dense and seamless, with a sweet core of fruit and a creamy, textural profile. (1/30/25)"

93-95 points Fine Wine Review: "More weight than the Puligny, less mineraltiy., less open today, but there is plenty of promise here.Some butter and cream on the palate. (2/26/25)"
