A confusing number of Chassagne estates carry the Gagnard name. This branch derives from the Gagnard-Delagrange estate, split between two daughters. One of them, Laurence,  married an air force engineer, Richard Fontaine, who handed control to his daughter Céline. Both white and red wines here have always had an easy elegance, but the many small refinements introduced by Céline, such as using natural yeasts and different oak regime, have taken them to a new level.

Tasting Note: Cherry, with a leather, stewed game, and truffle finish.

Origin: Chassagne-Montrachet, France
