2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Fontaine-Gagnard

2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Fontaine-Gagnard

Bâtard seems to be on a roll in 2020. This was just one of many excellent wines from the grand cru. It is smoky, weighty, and concentrated. It’s an incredibly handsome wine.

Tasting notes

The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru conveys more tension and mineralité on the nose than the Criots, very well defined with wet limestone mixed with citrus fruit and apple blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, taut and fresh with a saline finish that has a lovely edginess. With great persistent and poise, this is a very impressive Bâtard-Montrachet.
