Blain-Gagnard Criots Batard Montrachet 2018
It’s easy to assume that Criots would have the same richness and weight as Bâtard, its nextdoor neighbor. In fact, Criots is the most delicate of the five Grand Crus in the vicinity. The wines are more about perfume and delicacy with fine structure and intense minerality, and is from vines planted between 1929 and 1979.

Colour

Straw yellow with good consistency.

Bouquet

Reveals complex aromas of white fruits combined with notes of vanilla and butter.

Flavour

Very delicate, soft and mineral wine, with a beautiful balsamic finish, slightly mentholated. An excellent wine, with a promising aging capacity.

Pairing

White Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish, and its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aging lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.
