Fontaine-Gagnard
About Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard
Fontaine-Gagnard is the true Burgundian love affair. Its story began in the 1980s with the marriage of Richard Fontaine and Laurence Gagnard. Since 2007, Celine Fontaine has been taking more control of the winemaking from her father and the wines have been surging ahead over the past few years.
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard has seen a stratospheric rise in quality and acclaim over the last decade, excelling in the outstanding 2014 and 2017 vintages. The wines have a fantastic purity and minerality allied to a lovely weight and richness of fruit. This is a very smart and stylish Domaine making some of the most sought-after wines from Chassagne-Montrachet, boasting a fantastic intensity of fruit that beautifully expresses their top-notch terroir.

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet Clos Saint-Jean 1er Cru Rouge was cropped at 30hl/hl. With brambly red fruit, cranberry, raspberry, orange pith and a dab of white pepper, this is quite delightful. The palate is medium-bodied with black pepper filtering through the red fruit, attenuating slightly, though I admire the tension here. Very fine. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge has a light brambly nose, quite earthy in style. The palate is medium-bodied with redcurrant and briary scents, fleshy and pretty on the finish. |

Vinous (85-87)The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge has a pretty red cherry and cranberry scented nose, a little rustic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins, quite spicy and peppery in the second half with a clean, sous-bois-tinged finish. |

Burghound (88)All but invisible wood sits atop the peppery aromas of plum, red and dark currant along with violet hints. I very much like the texture of the middle weight flavors that possess a lovely sense of underlying tension that continues onto the nicely detailed if mildly rustic finale. A quality villages. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2020 Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge offers lilting red cherry and wild strawberry scents on the nose, hints of rose petal coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine definition, lightly spiced, quite energetic on the finish. This is very elegant for Chassagne Rouge. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2020 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with dark cherries, blueberry and violet aromas, almost Cote de Nuits-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, veins of blueberry, lightly spiced with white pepper and a touch of clove towards the finish. Great length here. Superb. |
