Fontaine Gagnard Batard Montrachet Grand Cru
| Vintage: | 2020 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Decanter 96 Points - "Complex nose, with classic Bâtard aromas such as ripe apple, butter, spice and cream, but there is also a slightly resinous quality that adds complexity. The texture is ripe and lush, amply demonstrating the effect of the warm year. There are four separate parcels in Bâtard that total 0.4ha, all on the Chassagne side. The grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cask with most of their lees. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040.". Vinous 96 Points - "The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru conveys more tension and mineralitĂŠ on the nose than the Criots, very well defined with wet limestone mixed with citrus fruit and apple blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, taut and fresh with a saline finish that has a lovely edginess. With great persistent and poise, this is a very impressive Bâtard-Montrachet.". Burghound 95 Points - "This is also elegant and pure and is presently quite similar to the Criots with perhaps just a bit more citrus influence. Once again, the larger-scaled flavors possess a simply gorgeous mouthfeel with excellent size, weight and density to the lemony, bone-dry and youthfully austere finale. This is very classy and while it could use better depth, given the potential aging curve, it should have no trouble adding more with time in bottle. *Burghound Don't Miss!*." |
