Domaine Guillemard-Clerc Bienvenues Bâtard Montrachet 2023

Domaine Guillemard-Clerc Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet 2023 is a rare Grand Cru white Burgundy from one of the most coveted vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, right on the edge of Le Montrachet. Made from old-vine Chardonnay in a tiny, carefully worked parcel, it captures the balance of power, precision, and finesse that defines this legendary terroir.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Grand Cru shows a bright, elegant profile with layered depth rather than obvious weight. Expect aromas of ripe citrus, pear, and white flowers, lifted by a fine mineral edge and subtle oak spice. On the palate, the wine is tense and focused, with creamy texture from lees aging, precise acidity, and a long, crystalline finish. The 2023 vintage comes across as lively and harmonious, with enough concentration to impress now and the structure to age beautifully. Over time, the fruit will evolve toward hazelnut, honeyed citrus, and more pronounced mineral complexity, making this a wine with serious cellaring potential.

Production
The wine comes from small old-vine parcels in Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, where limestone-rich, well-drained soils give Chardonnay its signature tension and detail. Harvested in very limited quantities, the fruit is vinified with a light hand to preserve purity and terroir expression. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, including a proportion of new oak, followed by extended bâtonnage and lees aging to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for refined dishes such as lobster, scallops, turbot, poached monkfish, or roast chicken with cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with truffled risotto, fine poultry, and aged hard cheeses like Comté. Serve at 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if opened young to let the wine fully open in the glass.
