few wines are recognized by abbreviation. This is one. BBM—Bienvenue Batard, welcome bastard. Who is best—Ramonet, Sauzet, Leflaive, Colin-Morey, Carillon? This white grand cru has a high level of winemaking and it’s hard to find a bad one. Not with the power of Batard or the razor sharp crystalline nature of Chevalier, it’s like a younger brother but definitely worthy of grand cru status. Sure, there’s the occasional sample that sits at the right of the bell-shaped curve—08 Colin-Morey comes to mind—but price shows it under BM and CM. Who do you like and why? Give me Colin-Morey.
Carillon is my favourite, but as the OP has pointed out, pretty much all of the producers are great, and therefore so are the wines. I would tend to rate BBM above BM in part for that consistency (and I love the flavour profile).
Leflaive for me. When it’s on, it can be sublime. The ‘99 is still the best white Burgundy I’ve had to date. More subtle than the Batard, granted, but that’s not necessarily a weakness.
I think that’s the strength of BBM as a vineyard, personally! I love BBM generally, since it seems to have such great tension, whereas I feel like Batard can often run fat, especially in warmer vintages.
Carillon is an emotional favorite for me, and the BBM I’ve drunk the most of. Ramonet is outstanding as well. I seem to recall someone on the site taking offense at the moniker BBM (too informal IIRC). That’s what my friends and I use.
