Domaaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru-'La Boudriotte' 2024

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'La Boudriotte' 2024 is a magnificent, terroir-driven Premier Cru white Burgundy produced from old Chardonnay vines within the famed 'La Boudriotte' climat (a sub-parcel of the broader Morgeot premier cru vineyard). Vinified traditionally using native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (approximately 30% new), it highlights the clay-rich soils of the lower slopes in Chassagne-Montrachet. In the glass, it presents a shimmering yellow-gold color with vibrant, complex aromas of ripe orchard peach, white nectarine, crushed limestone, toasted hazelnut, and subtle floral blossoms. On the palate, the wine demonstrates remarkable richness, depth, and texture, nicely counterbalanced by a streak of bright acidity, savory mineral tension, and a lingering, saline-tinged finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with roasted lobster, seared sea scallops, pan-roasted veal chops in cream sauce, grilled turbot, or aged Comté cheese.
