2004 Paul Pernot Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Pale straw with green hints and a medium nose of vanillin, cinnamon, nutmeg, yellow apples and pears, lemon zest, stones and other minerals. Medium body, medium plus intensity and medium plus acidity. Palate mirrors the nose with great fruit poking out from under a blanket of French oak. I believe this will integrate wonderfully and be a very enjoyable wine for many years to come. Balanced, but in need of at least 5 years for better oak integration.
