Vinous (88)The 2015 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a refined bouquet with good intensity; touches of smoke and flint develop with time. The palate is well balanced but feels a little flatter than I would like, and there is good acidity but not enough energy and precision. I suspect the vintage just denudes this Grand Cru of the tension it deserves. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. |

The Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 is an exemplar of white Burgundian splendour from the revered cellars of one of Chassagne-Montrachet's premier winemakers. Hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes from a mere 1.57 hectares provide the sublime, intricate layers that characterise this truly iconic Grand Cru. The ancient vines, nestled in limestone-rich soils, yield an unparalleled expression of terroir. This elegant embodiment of refinement and complexity was crafted under the stewardship of Jean-Marc Blain and his wife Claudine, the daughter of Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange, through traditional vinification. A fermentation process meticulously overseen in French oak barrels - 30% new - for up to 18 months, offers a harmonious marriage of opulence and longevity. Exuding indulgent notes of peach, citrus, and vanilla, the Jean-Marc Blain-Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2016 is a testament to its distinguished lineage. A truly exceptional wine to savour now or cellar for future indulgence. |

Vinous (94)The 2020 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru comprised just three barrels in this vintage, which is three more than most growers. It was picked on 21 August. There is wonderful tension on the nose with scents of lanolin and fern, beautifully defined and vibrant. The palate is very complex with touches of ginger complementing the citrus fruit, building all the time in the glass and fanning out on the finish. Excellent. |
