FEATURES
🏰Henri Clerc's Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 1996 is a 【rare and magnificent white Burgundy from a classic vintage】, renowned for its high acidity and exceptional aging potential. The 1996 vintage in Burgundy produced white wines with great tension and longevity. At this age, expect profound aromas of 【honey, toasted nuts, dried apricot, mushroom, and a rich minerality, alongside remnants of citrus and white flowers】. The palate should be full-bodied, with a creamy texture beautifully balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to an exceptionally long and complex finish.
🍴 This truly grand wine demands grand food. Pair with roasted lobster, pan-seared scallops with truffle, rich poultry dishes in cream sauces, or aged Comté cheese.
🥂 A rare and magnificent Grand Cru, reserved for the most momentous celebrations, a once-in-a-lifetime tasting, or as a crown jewel in a serious cellar. This 1996 Grand Cru white Burgundy is a testament to the vintage's aging potential. Expect a complex bouquet of mature aromas, but be mindful of the cork and capsule condition. Decanting might be beneficial to allow it to open up.
BACKGROUND
Domaine Henri Clerc, established in the 16th century, is located in the heart of Puligny-Montrachet, Burgundy, France. The estate primarily cultivates Chardonnay grapes. In 2002, the current owner, Bernard Clerc, resigned. Although part of the 11-hectare vineyard was allocated to family members, a significant portion was purchased by Vincent Girardin of Pommard. Consequently, these wines are now produced and aged in Girardin's winery near Meursault.
