The 2013 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet from the Fontaine family is utterly magical wine in the making, wafting from the glass in a gorgeous and youthful mélange of apple, pear, tangerine, gentle smokiness, an exotic touch of spiced meats, a superb base of chalky soil tones, lemon blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and absolutely rock solid at the core, with a primary personality, great focus and grip and a very, very long finish that thunders to a close with great mineral drive and backend energy. Brilliant Criots. (Drink between 2021-2055)
