Jean Noel Gagnard, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2012 it’s great to see Gaja’s

it’s great to see Gaja’s daughters Gaia and Rossana increasingly involved in the winery

lavender and a hint of spiced tea

What impresses is the fresh Chardonnay

I like the balance as well as the well-integrated structure that should enable this to offer 7 to 9 years of improvement

Jean Noel Gagnard, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2012 it’s great to see Gaja’s(from a . 3 ha parcel of 30+ year old vines on the Chassagne side, situated just below Montrachet, 7 barrels are usually produced). This is backward, tight and not revealing much aromatically beyond pure white flower and spice aromas though the rich, full and strikingly powerful flavors possess superb depth of dry extract and huge length on the detailed, focused and penetrating finish. This is a potentially great Btard as everything necessary is here
