This 2001 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a mature white Burgundy. Serve at 10-12°C. Given its 23-year age and large 4.5L format, we recommend using a Sovy Vintage Wine Opener, Durand, or Ah-So opener to preserve the cork. It is likely in its prime drinking window now but can continue to age gracefully for several more years. Decanting is generally not recommended for aged white wines unless there's significant sediment, which is rare.

This Grand Cru white Burgundy from Leflaive is renowned for its elegance, complexity, and profound minerality, often showcasing notes of citrus, white flowers, toasted nuts, and a long, saline finish. Its rich texture and vibrant acidity make it an excellent match for refined Asian cuisine. Consider pairing it with steamed fish with ginger and scallions, delicate Cantonese seafood dishes, or even a rich Japanese hot pot (shabu-shabu) with premium ingredients.

This bottle is in excellent condition: the label is perfect (score 10), the fill level is in neck (score 10), and the capsule is pristine (score 10). For optimal enjoyment and preservation, store this wine horizontally in a dark, cool place with stable temperature (around 12-15°C) and moderate humidity (60-75%). Avoid vibrations and sudden temperature changes.

Leflaive's Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru consistently receives high praise from critics, often scoring in the mid-90s. As a highly sought-after Grand Cru from a top producer, it holds significant investment value, especially in large formats like this 4.5L bottle, which are rarer and often appreciate well over time. However, wine investment carries inherent risks, and market values can fluctuate.
