"Don't Miss!", 2013 Fontaine-Gagnard Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru

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. They remain very well-priced against the other producers in the market. The production are minuscule as well, Batard-Montrachet comes from a 0.3 hectare of vines lying on the Chassagne-Montrachet side, and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet is compiled from 3 separate parcels of vines that are now 100 years of age and aggregate 0.33 hectare of vines.

A beautifully complex and impressively broad-ranging nose displays notes of spice, dried flowers, citrus, both white and yellow orchard fruit and exotic tea scents, all of which is framed in subtle oak nuances. There is fine intensity to the broad-shouldered, concentrated and lively flavors that coat the palate with dry extract while being supported by a solidly firm acid spine on the explosively long and equally complex finale. This is clearly built-to-age and will require a minimum of 5 to 7 years of age before this beauty reveals enough of its full potential to make opening a bottle worthwhile.

Subject to final confirmation. ETA 2-3 weeks.
