Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Fontaine-Gagnard is a family-run domaine with approximately 12 hectares of vineyards. It was formed in 1985 by Laurence Gagnard and her husband Richard Fontaine after Laurence inherited part of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. This release hails from Bâtard-Montrachet, one of five Grand Cru vineyards located in a cluster around the Montrachet hill. The 2020 vintage is still in its prime youth and will benefit from a few years in the cellar before being opened.

Vinous
The 2020 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a finely detailed bouquet, wonderful mineralité and tension. A touch of linden mixes with crushed rock/flint. The palate is fresh and vibrant. The acidity has a citric quality to it, and it is focused. While not the most powerful Bâtard-Montrachet, it conveys detail and precision. Sapid on the finish, if you are looking for an elegant Grand Cru then this fits the bill. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin9th July 2024
