Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte, Domaine Fontaine Gagnard 2023

Just under a hectare of vines on the southern side of the village, the Domaine’s largest premier cru runs from the top to the bottom of the hill, with water retaining clay-rich red soils at the bottom and white limestone-rich soils at the top; it is all harvested at the same time, but some parts are much cooler and fresher than others. Pale gold with a very tight, stony nose, mineral, almost steely, with some white flowers behind, leading to a richer palate, tight and linear, racy and citrussy, with green flowers, going to a long, tight, complex finish.
