Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2019
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is new to our offering this year and what a year to bring them in. This Domaine that covers a huge range of villages specialises in whites and over the past decade have raised their stock exponentially. The wines 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!
Château Angludet 2021
Known for its consistent quality and classic Margaux character, Château Angludet is a well-respected estate that has produced wines with finesse and structure for over a century. When Benjamin Sichel took charge of wine-making operations at Château Angludet in 1989, he set himself the task of optimising the vines' natural balance. In Benjamin's view, the vines ought to be allowed to regulate themselves naturally, without any assistance. The 2021 vintage in Bordeaux was challenging, with a cooler growing season compared to the previous hot and dry years. Frost early in the season, followed by a cool, wet summer, required careful vineyard management. However, the cooler conditions resulted in wines with lower alcohol, higher acidity, and more restraint. In the hands of experienced producers like Château Angludet, the vintage showcases freshness, purity of fruit, and a more classical Bordeaux style, with emphasis on elegance rather than concentration.
