Freesia, iris, and seemingly other ineffable, bittersweet floral essences rise hauntingly from the glass of Boillot 2007 Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet. It would be difficult to imagine a more magic carpet or garden of flavors than that which emerges here, shimmering with mineral inflections as well. Here is a wonderful example of the lift as well as (a word Boillot, too uses for this site) the "tension" of which Bienvenues – but seldom if ever Batard – is capable. The subtly interactive yet ultimately seemingly indelible cling of mineral, floral, and fruit elements here is ravishing and the combination of textural tenderness with lift and refreshment a handsome tribute to the vintage. I would expect this to be well worth following for a dozen or more years.
