The 2023 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru is a terrific, powerful, and built-to-age wine from a "brilliant" vintage for Burgundy. It has outstanding size, weight, and muscle, along with a powerful, full-bodied mouthfeel. The nose offers a complex blend of white orchard fruit, especially white peach, intermingled with smoky, floral, and spicy notes. It is intense and fresh on the palate, with a rich, yet balanced texture. The wine features "outstanding persistence" on the finish, leading to a long and impeccably balanced finale. In short, this is an impressive, serious wine that promises to be a masterpiece for those patient enough to age it properly.
