Montrachet, Domaine Fontaine Gagnard 2020

Enough wood to comment on surrounds the smoky aromas of white orchard fruit, anise, exotic tea, acacia and a whiff of petrol character. Here too the imposingly powerful flavors possess a highly sophisticated and seductive mouthfeel even though they are not super-dense. By contrast, they are remarkably fine while displaying superb length on the citrus, bone-dry and youthfully austere finale that just goes and goes. This compact and very tightly wound beauty is definitely going to require extended patience but if given adequate time, it should be brilliant.
