2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

The word "Caillerets" alludes to a stony soil, to which the minerality of Fontaine-Gagnard's is testament. The fruit comes from two plots, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the vineyard, so there is a honeyed richness here which perfectly balances that minerality, whilst the finish displays lovely, refreshing citrus fruit.

2013 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

One of Burgundy’s most charming domaines, Fontaine-Gagnard is run by Celine Fontaine, with her parents Richard Fontaine and Laurence Gagnard. Richard founded the estate when he married Laurence: his first vintage was 1985, produced from his inlaws’ vineyards. However, this nearly never happened: the first time they met, he almost misidentified the 1978 Montrachet, the estate’s crown jewel, as Aligoté, due to its high acidity. Fortunately he kept his mouth shut, and Fontaine-Gagnard was born.
