Fontaine Gagnard, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2013 the 2008 Blanc de Blancs(from a . 30 ha parcel in Chassagne). A cooler and very pure nose freely offers up its aromas of spice, various citrus elements and ripe white fleshed fruit, in particular white peach. The delicious, intense and beautifully textured medium weight plus flavors possess focused power and fine detail on the balanced and strikingly long finish. This is a Btard of finesse and understated rather than overt muscle and imposing size and weight.
