Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Morgeot' Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2022
This excellent Premier Cru has plenty of sweet red berry fruit with a hint of coffee - very open and juicy with good concentration and ripe tannins. Good to go straight away but it will reward the patient. 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)
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste 2022
The single bottles are offered in own wooden cases, 1 week delivery. The cases of six are shipping in autumn, 2026 Grand-Puy-Lacoste stands among Pauillac's most reliable estates, and their 2022 shows exactly why we rate them so highly. This is classic Left Bank Bordeaux with blackcurrant depth, cedar spice, and that distinctive graphite minerality that makes Pauillac so compelling. The structure here is impressive but not intimidating. At four years old, it's beginning to show its pedigree whilst keeping plenty in reserve. The tannins have that grainy texture that speaks of quality fruit and careful extraction. This vintage captures everything we love about Grand-Puy-Lacoste: the estate's signature elegance wrapped around a core of serious Cabernet Sauvignon.
