Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
This is gorgeous. Lime and lifted stone notes. Mint and salinity. This is rich, exotic, focussed, has great balance and thrust. Not a whiff of pox. Yay

Jul 11th, 2023This is starting to turn. Rich and honeyed. Hints of mint. Some oxidative notes and lacking the drive and freshness of younger vintages

Jul 24th, 2022A zesty, intense nose. Lemon confit, lime, steel. The palate is intense with a dynamic acid spine running throughout. Powerful but refined. Pretty thrilling stuff. Glycerin texture and real persistence.Time ahead too.
