Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a family estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy. Led by Céline Fontaine and Frédéric Robert since 2007, the domaine is widely regarded as one of the best value producers in the appellation, crafting mineral-driven, richly textured white Burgundy across village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru levels.
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.
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.
