Set up after the marriage between Richard Fontaine and Gagnard Delagrange in 1985, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard has since been producing excellent Chardonnays and nowadays is still a name that is “under-the-radar” but attracts lots of wine collectors to secure it during En Primeur. The Domaine has beautiful ownership in Chassagne-Montrachet with a few Premier Crus as well as Batard-Montrachet and Le Montrachet Grand Cru. Winemaking remains traditional in the cellar, creating intense, powerful and complex wines that are classically balanced with genuine expressions of the terroirs. 

Among the fantastic line-up, Fontaine-Gagnard ‘s Batard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru offer extraordinary values for drinkers who are looking at classic style of top-tier Chardonnay from Burgundy.

2014 Fontaine-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru

HK$2,580 per bottle, 6 available

94pts Allen Meadows “Don’t Miss!”

A similarly exotic if slightly riper and more complex nose introduces rich, dense and overtly muscular flavors that possess an abundance of palate coating dry extract on the balanced finish that is supported by a very attractive sense of underlying tension. I quite like this as it's generous yet more refined than it usually is though the refinement notwithstanding, note well that this will require at least a decade to reach its full apogee.

HK$2,400 per bottle, 6 available

An almost invisible touch of wood highlights the ever-so-slightly riper aromas of mildly exotic white peach, pear, and orange peel. There is excellent density to the exceptionally rich, sappy, generous and very round full-bodied flavors that possess a seductively textured mouth feel while delivering outstanding length on the robust and chewy, indeed almost tannic, finish. This is one of the relatively rare 2015 whites that will absolutely need extended cellaring and I would go so far as to say that if you're not prepared to cellar it at least 5-ish years, don't buy it.

Moderately firm reduction presently dominates the underlying fruit. Otherwise, the succulent yet powerful flavors possess imposing size, weight and punch while also concluding in a robust, mouth coating and firmly structured finish. Like the Criots this is absolutely going to require at least mid-term cellaring but it should be well worth the wait.
