FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do the names Carillon Jacques, Sauzet Etienne, and La Vougeraie refer to different cuvées or different estates?

They are different estates whose wines here share the same appellation: Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru. In this Appellations<\/a> section, the choice is therefore between producers and vintages rather than between different appellations.

Which Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet wines have an RVF rating listed?

The Etienne Sauzet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet wines from 2020 and 2022 each have an RVF rating of 98. The 2023 La Vougeraie has a rating of 96: these scores provide an additional point of reference when choosing between these bottles.

Which wines should I bring together to compare both the effects of the estate and the vintage?

Etienne Sauzet and La Vougeraie are both represented in 2022 and 2023. Bringing these four wines together makes it possible to compare the two estates in the same year, and then two vintages from each estate.

Which wine should I choose to discover David Moret in this appellation?

David Moret is represented by a 2021 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, the producer’s only listing in the category. To compare this wine with another estate without changing vintage, the 2021 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet from Jacques Carillon provides a point of comparison.

Which bottles should I choose to explore both ends of the 2020–2024 period?

Etienne Sauzet’s 2020 Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet is the oldest vintage in the selection. At the other end, the 2024 wines are from Jacques Carillon and La Vougeraie; comparing them with the 2020 will therefore vary both the year and the producer.
