2016 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Caillerets, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

Caillerets takes its name from the tiny stones that litter the vineyard, and it’s one of the village’s most highly prized sites.There’s wonderful elegance here, lots of stony minerality, gunflint and oyster shell. This will benefit from cellaring. Wonderful tension and texture. Strictly limited to 6 bottles per person.

Due to high demand, this wine is limited to 6 bottles per customer.

2016 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.
