Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard – Le Montrachet 2017

TASTING

Its finesse, its elegance and its aromatic complexity grow after long years of ageing, to reveal all its power.

WINEMAKING

The wines are generous, very respectful of their terroir, and accessible in their youth in all simplicity.

Our winemaking methods remain classic: fermentation under indigenous yeasts, maturing from 12 to 18 months in oak barrels. Each wine respects the same manufacturing process, and thus gives the best characteristics of its terroir. Only the amount of new oak varies: 15-20% for the Villages, 30-40% for the Premiers Crus / Grands Crus.
Throughout the year, from pruning onwards, we strive to work our vines to give them the best quality potential at harvest time (ploughing, regular soil analysis, annual replacement of dead vines, integrated cultivation…).
