"The historic Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard traces its origins to the union of Richard Fontaine with Jacques Gagnard's eldest daughter, Laurence, in 1982; today, his daughter Celine continues the task inherited from her ancestors by making tremendously elegant wines. The heart of their winery is in their Chassagne-Montrachet vineyards, in the Côte de Beaune, where they own a good number of Premier and Grand crus.Their wines are intense, deep, complex...They are wines that begin their life with the classic balance and accessibility of Chassagne, always with that tremendous expression of terroir and the fantastic structure that guarantees the ability to age and gain elegance over time.Céline Fontaine makes a magnificent Chassagne Village but the fireworks start with Premier Crus like Maltroie, more structured and able to age for 15 or 20 years. Among the Grand Crus, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard owns one of the largest parts of one of the smallest Grand Crus of the Cote de Beaune, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet."
