2020 Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

2020 Chassagne-Montrachet, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

Deliciously fresh, with sleek, nutty fruit, and perfectly pitched new oak (20%). This abounds with ripe lemon, and has Chassagne’s signature chiselled texture. As ever, a benchmark Chassagne from one of our favourite producers, and excellent value.

Tasting notes

Matured with 20% new oak the 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Village has a high-toned and expressive bouquet with white flowers and a touch of tangerine. The palate is well balanced with a finely tuned opening, lemon verbena and apricot, with a pretty, quite floral finish. This is quite classy for a Chassagne Village.
