2022, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, CRIOTS-BÂTARD-MONTRACHET, Grand Cru

The 2022 Criots-Btard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a terse, stony bouquet with touches of granite, orange pith and grilled walnut aromas that gradually gather momentum in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced, with a reductive note lending tension and poise. Surfeit with energy, this fans out wonderfully and is one of the longest in the mouth. Due to be bottled next spring, this is a magnificent Criots. 94-96 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
