FONTAIGNE GAGNARD - Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2021

Le domaineFontaine-Gagnard

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, nestled in Chassagne-Montrachet in the Côte de Beaune, is a distinguished family estate known for producing some of the region’s finest wines. Founded by Jean-François Fontaine and now managed by his son, the estate cultivates about 10 hectares across acclaimed appellations such as Chassagne-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, and Meursault.

The domaine is committed to sustainable viticulture, employing traditional methods and a reasoned approach to preserve the integrity of the terroir. Manual harvesting and minimal intervention winemaking ensure precision and purity. White wines are aged in oak barrels, allowing fruit and floral aromas to blossom while retaining minerality.

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard’s wines are celebrated for their balance and finesse and are Ecocert-certified organic. The whites, notably Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, exhibit exceptional purity, with floral notes, stone fruits, and a delicate buttery touch. The Pinot Noir reds are elegant and silky, with red berry aromas and gentle tannins. These wines age beautifully and gain complexity over time.
