Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 'Batard-Montrachet' Grand Cru 2024

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2024 is an extraordinarily rich, structured, and commanding white Burgundy crafted from old Chardonnay vines situated on the Chassagne-Montrachet side of the prestigious Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru vineyard. Hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts, the wine is matured in French oak barrels (around 30% new) to preserve its natural minerality alongside an opulent texture. In the glass, it reveals a luminous light gold hue, bursting with expressive aromas of ripe white peach, lemon oil, acacia blossom, crushed stone, and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, it exhibits immense power, weight, and volume, delivering a dense core of citrus and orchard fruit balanced by vibrant acidity, refined mineral tension, and an extraordinarily long, resonant finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with butter-poached lobster, roasted sea bass, seared sea scallops with caviar, creamy veal sweetbreads, or aged Comté cheese.
