Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Fontaine-Gagnard 2012 is a Grand Cru Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. This wine is sourced from a lower-yielding vineyard known for its rich, silty clay soils, which enhance the vineyard`s expression. The bouquet reveals aromas of white peach, lemon zest and subtle toasty notes. On the palate, it presents a rich, full-bodied texture with layers of ripe fruit and a characteristic minerality.
95 Robert Parker
The 2012 Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru comes from the family’s one-third hectare holding planted between the 1930s and 1990s. It was picked the same day as the premier crus and Celine told me that it always has a slightly higher degree of alcohol. It has an entrancing bouquet with perfumed apricot, peach and dried citrus peel notes infused with minerals – feminine and seductive. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, powerful, spicy opening. It is very well balanced, very concentrated on the finish. This is compelling like so many from this under-rated grand cru vineyard, though there are just four barrels instead of the usual eight in this year.
