2017 Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

2017 Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

Nice fruit: beautiful lemon oil. Expressive, and very explosive on the palate. Orange flower water and sea spray. Love the acidity here. Lovely texture on the finish, and amazing purity.

Tasting notes

A cuvée that was produced from 1.7 hectares around the village and saw 20% new wood, the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Village exhibits pretty aromas of white flowers, lime zest, pear and subtle oak vanillin. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, with nice concentration, an open and expressive core and a precise, chalky finish. This will drink very well out of the gates given its charming but classic profile.
