Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Clos Saint Jean', Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2022
The wines from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. Céline Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) specialise in whites, and over the past decade have raised their stock exponentially. Céline has introduced using only natural yeast and prefers to age the top cru’s slightly longer in tank, meaning they age more slowly in bottle than we saw previously. This is a well-regarded estate which has moved into its next epoch and with quality only on the rise, there is a lot to love about all of these wines. "The 2020 is more serious. 2022 is more charming. The reds are like 2019, for the easy ripeness, but the structure is more like 2020. What impresses me about this vintage is the concentration.” Winemaker's notes (worldoffinewine.com)
Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Les Folatières', Domaine Alain Chavy 2022
Domaine Alain Chavy’s 2022 Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru ‘Les Folatières’ is a seriously refined white Burgundy that shows why this site is one of Puligny’s most sought-after. Perched high on the slope, ‘Les Folatières’ brings together energy, finesse, and a real sense of place. Alain’s approach in the cellar is one of low-intervention, with minimal bâtonnage and a measured use of new oak. The results are precise, mineral-driven Chardonnays with transparency to their terroirs, yet still with supple and generous mid-palate fruit expressions.
