Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2017
This is a great wine from the seductive 2017 vintage offering plenty of chewy raspberry and cherry fruit with good spice notes above, The palate is round and ripe with good firm and ripe tannins. This juicy offering will be great for young drinking but will also cellar well. The wines from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard have a clear purity and minerality as well as a lovely weight and richness of fruit. The focus and precision is what makes them really stand out and with Céline Fontaine and her husband Fred Robert (formerly of Armand Rousseau) at the helm, you best keep a close eye on how high this Domaine will climb!
Fromm, Clayvin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
Based in the Southern Valleys in Marlborough, Fromm was established in the 90s, undergoing organic conversion in 2005, and has rapidly developed a cult reputation for its range of single vineyard reds & whites. Winemaking is Burgundian, with little more than 3,000 cases produced annually. The vineyards are farmed by hand, grapes hand-picked, whilst in the winery they use wild yeasts, aging in Burgundian oak barrels, bottling with no fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. The resultant wines combine all the elegance, structure and suaveness of Burgundy yet with that signature plushness of NZ fruit, making them very attractive indeed. Their Pinot is a team favourite, almost Corton-like in its power & intensity, with the structure for long-term cellaring. This is a really special Pinot and comes at half the price of what you would pay in Burgundy.
