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 cuvée comes from ‘Les Caillerets’, one of Chassagne-Montrachet`s leading Premier Cru vineyards. The Domaine’s parcel is located in ‘Vigne Derrière’ and stretches from the bottom of ‘Caillerets’ to the top. The 2020 vintage is still in its prime youth and will benefit from a few more years in the cellar before being opened.

Vinous
The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has wonderful terroir expression on the nose, very nicely balanced, touches of lemon verbena, white peach and a light walnut aroma. The palate is very taut and linear, a fine spine of acidity with impressive salinity, especially on the finish. Great length and poise, this may warrant a higher score in the future.
