2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

Bâtard-Montrachet is never short of showy power, even in youth. It seems to have loved the style of 2023, and thrived in the conditions. It’s smoky, weighty, and concentrated, and overall an incredibly handsome wine.

Tasting notes

The 2023 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is more austere than the Criots. Despite rigorous coaxing, a light marine element surfaces with time. The palate is well balanced, quite intense and fresh, with intriguing hints of red fruit on the finish. Once in bottle, this will be fascinating to monitor. This is a Grand Cru that deserves cellaring.
