Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 94

"Here too there is a faint suggestion of the exotic on the nose of essence of pear, apple, fennel and discreet oak. The relatively broad-shouldered flavors possess a gorgeous mid-palate texture that contrasts moderately with the almost chewy, serious, powerful and explosively long finish. This is impressive and should age accordingly. I would add that chez Fontaine, the Criots is rarely at the level of the Bâtard, let alone the Montrachet, but in 2021 it very much appears to be so."

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"The 2021 Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru, represented by five barrels this year, has a refined and focused bouquet, just a subtle reduction at play here. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious with a gorgeous smooth texture, gently unfurling with a tender yet concentrated finish. Wonderful." -Vinous

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
