Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanc "Les Caillerets" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard

The Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a renowned family estate located in Chassagne-Montrachet, at the heart of Burgundy. It is reputed for the quality of its white wines sourced from the best terroirs of the appellation. The estate practices viticulture that respects traditions, highlighting the unique character of each plot. Through classical vinification methods and meticulous work, each wine from the estate expresses the authenticity of its terroir and the complexity of the Burgundian climates.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc 1er Cru-Les Caillerets 2022 is an exceptional wine, coming from the "Vigne Derrière" plot. This lieu-dit is characterized by a stony and pebbly soil with a southeast exposure. The soil of the upper part of the plot is shallow and sloping, while the lower part is richer in clay. This diversity of the terroir gives the wine a unique balance between minerality and richness. The vinification methods are traditional, with fermentation using indigenous yeasts and aging in oak barrels for 12 to 18 months, of which 30 to 40% are new barrels for the Premier Crus.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 2022 reveals a brilliant golden robe. On the nose, it expresses delicate aromas of white fruits and white flowers, with hints of spices. On the palate, the balance is remarkable between the minerality from the upper part of the terroir and the richness due to the clays of the lower part. The wine stands out for its complex structure and its spicy aromas that linger long on the palate.
