2019 Blain Gagnard Grand Cru Batard Montrachet 750Ml Bottle

"Less open than the Criots-Batard-Montrachet, with very little to the aroma - just a touch spicy/oily perhaps a little bit smoky/reductive. Deep and full in the mouth, rounded, rather gentle considering its youth but with a good balance on the finish between creamy texture and zippy acidity" 17pts - Jancis Robinson

"There is just enough reduction to reduce the expressiveness and blur a bit of the nuance to what are clearly ripe and floral-suffused aromas. The rich, delicious, and palate-coating large-scaled flavours possess impressive density while delivering excellent length on the compact and youthfully austere bitter lemon-inflected finish that is even firmer. Unlike the Criots that could reasonably be approached after 5-ish or so years, this is going to require between 12 and 15 years of patience if you wish to experience it at its peak" 93pts - Allen Meadows, Burghound
