Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Fontaine-Gagnard is a family-run Domaine with approximately 12 hectares of vineyards. It was formed in 1985 by Laurence Gagnard and her husband Richard Fontaine after Laurence inherited part of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. This particular release hails from the Grand Cru Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet, one of the smallest AOCs in France covering just 1.6 hectares of land. 2020 was a unique vintage, with mostly hot and dry weather producing wines of remarkable freshness and balance.

The 2020 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, matured in around 40% new oak, has quite an intense bouquet: orange pith, grilled hazelnut and walnut, just a hint of spice. It will require time for the wood to fully integrate. The palate is rounded in texture with light tropical notes, passion fruit and pineapple counterbalanced by a fine line of acidity. Just misses a little tension on the finish, but otherwise this is very fine. Neal Martin1st December 2021
