The 2022 Domaine Faiveley Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a prestigious white Burgundy sourced from one of the Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. Produced from Chardonnay grown on a small parcel acquired by Domaine Faiveley in 2008, this wine combines the richness associated with Bâtard-Montrachet with the finesse and precision that define Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet.
The nose is elegant and layered, revealing aromas of white peach, ripe citrus, acacia blossom and toasted brioche alongside subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it is concentrated yet refined, with a silky texture, vibrant acidity and flavours of stone fruit, candied lemon and delicate oak spice. The finish is long, fresh and saline, showing remarkable balance, tension and Grand Cru complexity.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an exceptional Chardonnay for Burgundy collectors and lovers of world-class white wine. Its combination of richness, mineral precision and ageing potential makes it a standout bottle for special dining occasions. Pair with lobster, scallops, roast poultry or creamy mushroom dishes. While already impressive with careful decanting, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully over the next 10–15 years and beyond.
