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 comes from the Grand Cru Le Montrachet, where the estate owns a tiny 0.08-hectare plot. The winemaking methods at Fontaine-Gagnard are traditional, including hand-picking and natural yeasts. Their white wines are typically bottled after one year in barrel.

Vinous
There is just one barrel of 2021 Montrachet Grand Cru this year (normally there is one and a half). It has an intense bouquet, though it doesn`t quite have the panache of the Bâtard-Montrachet, a hint of menthol emerging with time. The palate is well balanced with a dab of stem ginger on the entry, fine depth, powerful and concentrated with an intense finish. - Neil Martin
