2022 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Romanée", Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

The "La Romanée" vineyard is one of the most prized sites in Chassagne-Montrachet, known for its high elevation and chalky soils that contribute to the wine's finesse and minerality. In 2022, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard has crafted a stellar expression of this premier cru, focusing on precision and elegance. The wine undergoes fermentation and aging in French oak, with a portion of new barrels adding a touch of complexity without overpowering the purity of fruit.
