Based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Fontaine-Gagnard is a family-run domaine with approximately 12 hectares of vineyards. It was formed in 1985 by Laurence Gagnard and her husband Richard Fontaine after Laurence inherited part of Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange. This release hails from Bâtard-Montrachet, one of five Grand Cru vineyards located in a cluster around the Montrachet hill. The 2020 vintage is still in its prime youth and will benefit from a few years in the cellar before being opened.
