Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru-'Les Vergers' 2024

Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Vergers' 2024 is an extraordinarily refined Premier Cru white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay vines grown in the esteemed 'Les Vergers' climat. Situated on the upper mid-slope of Chassagne-Montrachet with stony, limestone-dominant soils, this vineyard yields wines of exceptional precision, floral elegance, and high mineral tension. Vinified with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (around 30% new), the wine opens with an aromatic bouquet of crisp green apple, white peach, lemon blossom, crushed chalk, and subtle toasted brioche. On the palate, it displays remarkable energy, a silken texture, vibrant acidity, and a long, saline, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with butter-poached lobster, pan-seared sea scallops, roasted sea bass, creamy poultry dishes, or aged Comté cheese.
