94 points Neil Beckett (The World of Fine Wine): "While the Bâtard is also very worthy, if I had to choose, I might prefer the Bienvenues this year. Only two pièces (neither new), bought as must, but from vines biodynamically cultivated for 10 years. Pale lemon. A lovely scent: elegant, floral, lightly honeyed. Effortless on the palate, a discreet opulence, relaxed tension, not explosive or scintillating, but completely enchanting, supremely stylish, and still with great gentle persistence. (Issue 63; 2019)"
92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru was a touch less integrated and seemingly less deep than the Bienvenues when I tasted it, though that may just reflect a stage in its élevage. Offering up aromas of ripe waxy lemons, white flowers, beeswax and crushed chalk, it's full-bodied, chewy and long, with a more foursquare but less multidimensional profile than the Bienvenues. Both are exceptional, so it will be interesting to see which performs better in bottle. (Jan 2019)"
