2023 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru "La Maltroie", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
La Maltroie is a Premier Cru located just below the village of Chassagne-Montrachet, known for producing wines with both aromatic charm and structural depth. The 2023 vintage brought excellent ripeness and acidity, captured here through Fontaine-Gagnard’s restrained winemaking approach. Grapes are hand-harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in French oak barrels—around 20–25% new—for roughly 12 months.
The wine shows layers of orchard fruit, lemon zest, crushed stones, and a subtle nutty character. It combines roundness with clarity, offering early appeal while also rewarding short- to mid-term cellaring.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a family-run estate based in Chassagne-Montrachet, managed by Céline Fontaine. Known for their focus on terroir expression and minimal intervention, the domaine produces a broad range of acclaimed Chardonnays, including several Grand and Premier Cru wines. Farming is sustainable, and winemaking emphasizes purity, with gentle pressing, native fermentations, and careful oak integration. La Maltroie is one of the domaine’s benchmark Premier Crus—accessible, complex, and distinctly Chassagne.
