2023, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, 1er Cru, 'La Grande Montagne'The 2023 Chassagne Montrachet Grande Montagne 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet, very well defined, with hints of white flowers complementing the citrus fruit. It has fine mineralit. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity. The oak is beautifully integrated with a touch of quince and spice on the finish. This is a very complete Chassagne in the making. 92 94 Neal Martin, Vinous (2024). Drinking Window: 2026 2046
