2024, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, BÂTARD-MONTRACHET, Grand Cru

3 parcels but most comes from a parcel near Criots and another near Puligny, half each of this cuvée in Pulingy and Chassagne

The 2024 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a delectable nose not dissimilar to the Criots this year, beautifully defined with hints of oyster shell surfacing with time, quite Zen-like but paradoxically conveying real presence. The palate is very well balanced with wonderful poise. Impressive depth and concentration considering the growing season with a sprightly finish that fans out in a cool, calm and collected fashion. This is an excellent Bâtard-Montrachet that has its nose in front of the Criots. 2027-2046.
95–97 Neal Martin, Vinous.

 A vibrancy of complex aromatics, even a hint of smoke and florals. Large in scale – such depth – clearly another level. Generous but still with exquisite balance.
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report.
