Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, 2021

This Chassagne has a generous, well-rounded bouquet, with dry honey notes woven into bright citrus fruit. The palate is fresh and full, with a touch of richness on the finish. Hints of brioche and toffee apple linger on the aftertaste, adding depth to this elegant, steely wine.

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard covers a large range of villages, specialise in whites and have over the past decade raised their stock exponentially.

Their wines have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out, and with Céline Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb.
