Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2022

98 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide (2025).

94-97 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 45+ year old vines, which are the oldest of the Domaine). As is often the case, the aromatic profiles of the Pucelles and the BBM are quite similar with the slight exception that the latter is even more floral in character. On the palate though there is more volume, richness and concentration with the medium-bodied flavors displaying impressive power as well as an abundance of sappy dry extract that buffers the notably firm acid spine supporting the hugely long, balanced and very classy finale. This too is terrific and a wine that should age gracefully for 20+ years. Drink: 2034+. (Jun 2024)"

96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Bienvenue-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a captivating sea cave and oyster shell-scented nose that is so different from the Puligny Premier Crus. The palate is slightly reductive but in a positive way, imparting a light bitterness and tension. There's tremendous weight on the finish, but it retains linearity and focus. This is another of Leflaive's 2022s that will demand time in bottle, but it is preloaded with potential. Drink: 2028-2050. (Jul 2024)"

95 points/'Very Fine+,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Bienvenue Batard-Montrachet is quite outspoken, with a slightly more mineral/spicy note than the Batard. I have a clear preference for the ultimate finesse and refinement of the Batard, but the Bienvenue has other strings to play regarding food choices: turbot with a lobster bisque springs to mind when writing this article at 10:30 am, when I’m already thinking of lunch.
