Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 2018 is a full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Les Caillerets in the Chassagne-Montrachet commune of the Côte de Beaune. 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 1er Cru cuvée is sourced from one of the most prized crus in Chassagne. Producer note. "The elegance of Les Caillerets lies in the balance between the minerality from the upper part of the plot, and the richness of its lower part, creating spicy hints on the nose."

Vinous
The 2018 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a minty/aniseed tinged bouquet that opens nicely in the glass. There is a very subtle reduction at play. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, and, again, rather reductive. But, there is plenty of matière in situ. Fine boned with a lightly spiced and reassuringly persistent finish developing more and more salinity with aeration. Excellent. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 white tasting.
