Jean Noel Gagnard, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2009 which I think remains one

which I think remains one of his best wines to day

Jean Noel Gagnard, Batard Montrachet Vintage:2009 which I think remains one(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
