TN: 2006 Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet

  • 2006 Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (7/26/2009)
    This is really nice stuff. Understated white Burg, some lemon, some custard, no oak that I can sense (great integration at this age!). The first glass was gulpably delicious. Good length. (94 pts.)

Haven’t had the '06 but have enjoyed other vintages back to the '00. Always enjoyable and I may even prefer his Criots. Perhaps just since I rarely see a Criots that I find is fun to drink.

Nice to hear this is so well integrated so young.

I’ve had a number of the premier cru wines from earlier vintages but not recently. Good to see they are still on form.
