Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1996 Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru (98WS, (93-95RP), 93ST, 17JR). Wine Spectator: "Brilliant. Magical winemaking, fine terroir and an outstanding vintage combine to make this enormously successful white. Clean, pure, vibrant, with toasted oak, pine-tree sorbet, honey, lime and deep mineral flavors, this is a sensationally balanced wine that rises to the top of its vintage. Full-bodied, it vibrates with energy and toasted oak on the palate, staying animated for what seems like 60 seconds or more on the finish. Best after 2005. 150 cases made. PM" (08/1998)

The 1996 Batard-Montrachet has replaced the 1995 as the finest wine I have ever tasted from this estate . Displaying deep, floral, white peach, and mineral aromas, its amazingly rich, full-bodied, and oily-textured core explodes as waves of candied citrus fruits, minerals, metals, pears, honeysuckle, and sweet toasty oak are unleashed across the palate by vibrant and bright acidity. Hugely-structured yet fat and chewy, this expansive, broad and highly-delineated wine possesses an exceedingly long and intricate finish. (PR)
