Merchant's description
Le Montrachet Fontaine Gagnard 1999 is a notable mature Grand Cru white Burgundy, with complex aromatics emerging from its tight structure. Initial notes suggest understated spice, transitioning to flavours of apple and pear, complemented by hints of pastry. The wine exhibits a firm character that may take time to fully express itself, showcasing potential richness beneath its restraint.
