Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
Le Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay
This is great. A spectacular nose of zesty lemon, pineapple, peach, honey. The palate is vivid with loads of attack- lots of fruit, tropical notes of passion fruit and lime then slate. Acidity tingling away in the background. An exhilarating but sophisticated wine. Great balance and the youth gives it real vitality. Now for 10 years is the apex. A super long finish

Mar 10th, 2022Plush and exotic on the nose. Slightly tropical- pineapple, passion fruit. Sexy and supple. Very broad and long. After a while in glass this is getting better and better... Delicious.

Aug 15th, 2020An intriguing nose. Melon, lime, green pepper, fine tropical notes a little Indian spice. On the midpalate sweetness and very detailed. Quite light for a Montrachet, but very pure and interesting.

Aug 12th, 2018Wow. Loads of exotic fruit on the nose at first, then settles. Very crystalline and clear. Pure, pure, pure. Oyster shells and flint, as it progresses with lemons and sandalwood. Spearmint and freshness. Exotic notes retracting. On the palate- lush but very fine acidity pricking through. Expansive and focused. Beautiful wine. Delicious.

Well hello there! This was a young wine, pop and pour, but totally possessing that majestic magnificence. How is it that something so clearly worthy of time remains so difficult to keep in the glass!
