Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Fontaine-Gagnard is a family-run wine property 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 La Romanée, a Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru where the estate owns a 0.36-hectare plot. The 2007 growing season was marked by a cooler summer with some rain, which led to slower ripening and increased disease pressure in the vineyards. As a result, careful vineyard management and selective harvesting were crucial to produce high-quality wines.
90 Vinous
Pale green color. Pure, high-pitched aromas of lime, white flowers and ginger. Denser and riper than the Caillerets without any loss of juiciness. This has the tactile mouthfeel to handle its firm acids. The lemon, lime and mineral flavors are lifted by a floral topnote. A very pure, vibrant, subtle wine, finishing with very good cut to its flavors of lemon, crushed stone and spices. I'm more confident that this has the material to improve with four or five years of bottle aging than I am about the Caillerets, but Fontaine insists that the Caillerets is riper. This cuvee was 11.7% potential alcohol chaptalized to 12.8%.Stephen Tanzer1st September 2009
