The wines from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 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!

What the critics say:
"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeots 1er Cru Rouge, which comes from Les Chaumes, was more reduced on the nose than the other red cuvées from Fontaine-Gagnard. The palate is structured and dense, quite Pommard-like in terms of personality, with a concentrated finish emanating from the 20hl/ha after frost. Structured and grippy on the finish, this might well blossom in the future and so cellar it for 3-4 years. "
"Once again there is enough wood present on the earthier aromas of various dark berries and red cherry. The delicious, vibrant and denser medium-bodied flavors possess a lovely texture that is less rustic than usual, all wrapped in a moderately firm finish where a similar hint of bitter cherry pit gradually emerges. Worth considering."
