Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
La Maltroie Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of stone fruits with floral notes, very complex. On the palate apple and citrus flavors with honey, toasty oak and vanilla spice, lively acidity, well balanced, long finish ending with fruit and mineral tones. Nice! Drinking well now!

Jan 27th, 2021This is extremely rich on the nose with a healthy dollop of oak, but it all works well together. On the nose: sweet meyer lemon, lemon oil, vanilla oak, loads of rocks. On the palate, lovely acidity, a touch of oaky bitterness, lemon, lemon oil, tarragon. A touch of white pepper on the finish. I wonder whether the oak will become dominant with bottle age.
