Paul Pernot Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Grand Cru 2018

This remarkable new Grand Cru from the unanimously acclaimed 2018 vintage is simply dazzling. The texture is velvety smooth with rich and refreshing bright fruit thanks to this harmonious vintage. Honeysuckle and lilacs on the bouquet lead to a plethora of sumptuous flavors including flaky croissant, toasted almonds, crème Brule. Hints of fresh tropical fruit on the 60 second finish will deliver thrills now (decanting recommended prior to 2022) and the supremely balanced minerality bodes well for aging through this decade!
