"The Bienvenues from Sauzet comes from a parcel of sixty-eight year-old vines, which are the oldest that the domaine currently owns. The wine in â07 is, not surprisingly, brilliant, as it soars from the glass in a gorgeous mĂŠlange of apple, pear, lemon zest, white peaches, kaleidoscopic chalky soil tones (which is bizarre, as all of Bienvenues is terres rouges!), a potpourri of flowers and a judicious base of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and shows impeccable focus, bottomless depth and superb structure, as it delivers great elegance and intensity on the long, snappy and forever young finish. A brilliant, brilliant bottle of young Bienvenues!"
