2012 Paul Pernot Bienvenues Batard Montrachet

92 pts - Vinous

Bright pale yellow. Complex aromas of peach, pear and dried thyme are complicated by a sulfidey leesy nuance and lifted by a floral topnote. Concentrated and vivacious if a bit youthfully aggressive, with pear, menthol and crushed stone flavors showing lovely verve and length. Attractive sucrosite is nicely counterpointed by ripe acidity. I'd wait three or four years before pulling the cork.- Stephen Tanzer (09/2014)
