Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is new to our offering this year and what a year to bring them in. This Domaine that covers a huge range of villages specialises in whites and over the past decade have raised their stock exponentially.
The 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!
Optimal drinking window: Now - 2027
What the critics say:
"The 2019 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge was showing a bit of reduction on the nose when I tasted it. The palate is medium-bodied with dark berry fruit, quite striking in terms of mineralité with impressive clarity and focus on the silky finish. Lovely. "
"Subtle but perceptible wood floats in the background of the more deeply pitched aromas of plum, earth and a pepper nuance. The round and velvet-textured medium weight flavors possess a caressing mid-palate that contrasts slightly with the dusty and youthfully austere finish that flashes just a touch of rusticity. I like the depth, and this is a quality Chassagne villages. 'Outstanding' 'Top value'"
