Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2021
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard sits right in the heart of Chassagne-Montrachet, where the Gagnard family has been crafting some of Burgundy's most reliable white wines for decades. This village-level Chassagne shows exactly why the appellation punches above its weight - it's got the mineral spine and citrus precision you want from great white Burgundy, without the eye-watering price tags of the grands crus up the hill. The 2021 vintage brought ideal ripening conditions, and it shows in the wine's balance of fresh acidity and subtle richness.
Meursault Les Criots, Domaine du Pavillon 2020
Maison Albert Bichot has been passed down for 6 generations since 1831 and today it manages individual Domaines rather than housing all sites under one property. Domaine Long-Depaquit in Chablis, Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard and the jewel in the crown Domaine du Clos Frantin in NSG are the organic Domaines. Having supported the team for a number of vintages we have been able to acquire decent allocations across all three and are thrilled to be able to offer their top wines. "From a limestone rich lieu-dit almost on the northern border with Volnay, this is a super site for Meursault and in 2020 the wine really shines. Like Baby Bear’s porridge – everything is just right: Orchard and citrus fruits plus a little spice on the nose, then you get the intensity of concentration of the vintage and plenty of ripeness and mid-palate density, but also cooler fruit and a fresh salty vein of acidity. Really pleasurable now, but will doubtless evolve with another year or so in bottle." Tom Harrow, Head Wine Guru
