Jasper Morris: 95-98 Points
A little more yellow in colour with clearly more substantial fruit weight. Rich but not heavy excellent acidity more waves of fresh plum fruit coming swinging through the mouth. This and the Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet are so different in style. Erwan and colleagues feel that this is among the best they have ever made.
Decanter: 95 Points
Faiveley owns a third of a hectare on the Puligny side of Bâtard directly up-slope from their vines in Bienvenues. The wine is a classic of the appellation with ripe apple and quince aromas hints of acacia flower hazelnut and spice. The texture is powerful and richer than the Bienvenues; it also has more structure and potential for ageing. The overall impression is one of density without heaviness ? marvellous. This wine should open with three to five years in the bottle and drink for a further 20. (Drink between 2030-2060) - Charles Curtis MW
Burghound: 93-95 Points
A more floral-suffused nose freely reveals its aromas of carnation acacia and lilac with additional nose of the essence of pear and crushed fennel. The sleek intense and impressively scaled flavors brim with sappy dry extract that seems to have no effect on the precision of the wonderfully long bone-dry and superbly long and well-balanced finale. Like the BBM this could use better depth but overall it's exceptionally promising. (Drink starting 2032)
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Lemon candy toasty oak apple and butterscotch flavors mark this elegant white which is supple creamy even and balanced with a long finish evoking baking spices. Just needs a year or two to settle down. Best from 2026 through 2035. 13 cases imported.
Vinous: 93-95 Points
The 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has slightly more complexity and mineralité on the nose than the Bienvenue. It?s sprightly and focused with a hint of sea spray coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tension and a very slight reduction that lends tension counterbalancing the creamy finish. Excellent. (Drink between 2026-2045)
waWine Advocate: 93-95 Points
Deep and muscular the 2022 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru reveals notes of pear sweet stone fruit fresh mint buttered toast and hazelnuts followed by a full-bodied rich and layered palate that's deep and concentrated its sweet core of fruit girdled by lively acids. Jérôme Flous and his team have produced another compelling range of 2022s and it's hardly surprising given the high level of vineyard management chez Faiveley or the skill and precision brought to bear in the winery and the cellar. As is often the case up and down the Côte d'Or the style is more delicate and sensual than was the case in 2020 and the wines seem set to offer broad drinking windows. Published: Jan 18 2024
