Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru Rouge was cropped at 30hl/hl. With brambly red fruit, cranberry, raspberry, orange pith and a dab of white pepper, this is quite delightful. The palate is medium-bodied with black pepper filtering through the red fruit, attenuating slightly, though I admire the tension here. Very fine. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2010 Batard-Montrachet is stunningly beautiful. It covers every inch of the palate with layers of intensely perfumed fruit. Despite its considerable richness, the Batard remains surprisingly delicate and medium in body, although I suspect it will put on weight in the bottle. There is so much to admire here, but the wine shuts down quickly in the glass, and I fear the same may happen in bottle. Readers will have to be patient here. In my view, the Batard is the most complete of the domaine’s grand crus. It combines aromatics, fruit and structure in a marvelously harmonious expression of this great vineyard. Anticipated maturity: 2015+. |

Wine Advocate (94)The Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2011 from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a gem. Here we have a killer limestone, stony bouquet that is stoic but utterly captivating, more like a Montrachet in my opinion. The palate is struck through with superb tension and grace, delicate touches of citrus peel, finely poised with an intense and penetrating finish. What a fabulous Bâtard-Montrachet this is from one of Chassagne top-notch growers. |

Vinous (94)The 2019 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a rather terse bouquet, more saline than the Criots, touches of oyster shell coming through with time in the glass. The palate is well balanced with more weight and density than the Criots, grippy and saline with a long spicy aftertaste. This is excellent - but serious and warranting cellaring for three or four years. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Maltroye 1er Cru has a fresh, quite linear bouquet with crushed stone and light yellow flower aromas. It just needs a little more intensity. The palate is lightly spiced on the entry with modest weight, yet is cohesive with white pepper and ginger enlivening the finish. This is a delightful, pretty Chassagne-Montrachet. |
