The Story
The grapes for this wine are grown in the Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard, a region in the Côte de Beaune famous for Chardonnay. It is named for the serfs who welcomed gifts of lower-altitude vineyard parcels from their Lords (Bienvenue means “welcome” in French). The clay and limestone soil in this area produce wines with clean stone fruit and green apple flavors, with an elegant mineral structure and lasting finish.

Burgundy: Spring started rather cold, but in May, warmer weather arrived to get flowering off to a good start. Normal, warm summer conditions followed, with the exception of a severe local storm in June which minimized crop sizes in Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. The harvest began at the end of September. The fine, elegant wines were just a little sweeter than the '78s; The Côte de Beaune did particularly well.
