The 1995 Henri Clerc Bienvenues Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a white Burgundy that, at nearly three decades old, is described as drinking perfectly now, showcasing a very fine effort from the vintage. Expect a refined opulence and silky texture, supported by a lively and precise structure. The palate reveals a complex palette of white flowers, yellow fruits, and delicate pastry notes, culminating in a noble and harmonious expression that is both generous and extremely elegant. Aromas of ripe honeysuckle and subtly spiced citrus lead to medium-bodied flavours that coat the palate with fine richness and a lightly mineral-suffused, impressively long finish, without any botrytis notes. Other tasting notes include apricot, pear, cream, oil, honey, and vanilla. 【Drinking perfectly now with fine richness and impressive length.】 Food pairing suggestions include shellfish, pasta, rich fish like salmon or tuna, mild and soft cheeses, and cured meats. It would be particularly exquisite with grilled lobster and crayfish. This 1995 Grand Cru white Burgundy, approaching three decades of age, offers a glimpse into the elegance and complexity that mature Chardonnay can achieve. Expect a more developed aromatic profile, with tertiary notes complementing the primary fruit. Older corks can be fragile, so use a Durand or an Ah-So opener. Decanting is recommended for a short period (30-60 minutes) to allow the wine to open up and shed any harmless sediment, but be mindful not to over-aerate, as very old white wines can fade quickly. Serve slightly chilled, around 12-14°C (54-57°F). This wine is perfectly suited for a special occasion, a celebratory dinner, or a sophisticated tasting among connoisseurs. Its current maturity suggests it is ready to be thoroughly enjoyed.
