Gerard Boudot informed me that his 62 year old parcel of Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet has consistently produced 30 hectoliters/hectare since 1990 (63 cases), regardless of the vagaries of weather. It offers a precise, mineral and earth-infused nose as well as a highly concentrated, extracted, powerful, full-bodied, superbly-balanced, and focused character. Its flavor profile is jam-packed with crisp red berries, pears, minerals, and stones. It should be at its peak from 2003 to 2010. This wine had been bottled one week prior to my visit, having spent 14 months on its lees.
