Vinous (88)The 2015 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a refined bouquet with good intensity; touches of smoke and flint develop with time. The palate is well balanced but feels a little flatter than I would like, and there is good acidity but not enough energy and precision. I suspect the vintage just denudes this Grand Cru of the tension it deserves. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

Vinous (93)The 2017 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a light stony bouquet with orchard fruit and light citrus aromas, gaining some intensity with aeration but never fully letting go. The palate is well balanced with fine depth and presence, and quite saline, especially toward the impressively persistent finish. Yes, this is very primal and sultry at the moment, though it should age with style. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Vinous (90)The 2018 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a well-defined bouquet with more floral scents, fine crushed stone aromas with hints of honeysuckle becoming more pronounced with aeration. The palate is balanced with a powerful opening, quite a "burly" Bienvenue. Sappy, but somehow lacking persistence on the finish, as if rushing out of the exit door in a hurry. It then seems to fade in the glass returning after 10 minutes. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting. |

Vinous (94)The 2020 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprised just three barrels in this vintage, which is three more than most growers. It was picked on 21 August. There is wonderful tension on the nose with scents of lanolin and fern, beautifully defined and vibrant. The palate is very complex with touches of ginger complementing the citrus fruit, building all the time in the glass and fanning out on the finish. Excellent. |
