Bâtard Montrachet, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard 2018

Tasting Notes

A notably ripe and ever-so-mildly exotic but not really surmature nose consists primarily of spicy white orchard fruit along with hints of wood, white flowers and viognier. The rich, opulent and vibrant broad-shouldered flavors possess lovely complexity while delivering excellent length on the powerful and focused if somewhat linear finish. This will almost certainly add body with age, and it appears to be structured for mid to even longer-term cellaring. Note: from a .3 ha parcel of 30+ year old vines on the Chassagne side, situated just below Montrachet Drink: 2030+
