2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Blanc, 1er Cru La Romanee, Domaine Fontaine Gagnard (6 x Bottle)
The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Romanée is more reserved than the Caillerets, unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, crisp melon, white flowers, beeswax and crushed chalk. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, elegantly satiny and multidimensional, with lovely purity, a tight-knit core and a long, mineral finish.

Vinous
A note of herbal reduction to the aromas and flavors of citrus zest, white flowers and rock. A broad, dry, large-scaled premier cru that stands out in the early going for its uncanny volume and silkiness. An outstanding rocky, floral example of its vineyard but still a baby and in need of longer élevage. Finishes with palate-dusting solidity and notes of pineapple and mint. This slow-ripening vineyard always produces wine with relatively low pH and higher acidity, like the Vergers, according to Céline Fontaine.
