The 2022 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge is a well-regarded Burgundy, praised for its elegant and expressive character. It comes from a strong vintage for the region, where a generous yield was met with high-quality, clean, ripe, and detailed fruit. The nose reveals a complex mix of red fruits, including red currants, cranberries, wild berries, and red cherries. These are complemented by floral hints of rose petals, earthy notes, and a touch of spice. On the palate, the wine is described as medium-bodied with refined, silky tannins and well-balanced acidity. Flavors of dark berries and black cherry are prominent, with a mouth-watering quality and a linear, spiced finish. It has been called charming, rich, succulent, and juicy, with a "freshness and crunch" that belies the warmth of the vintage. The blend comes from six different parcels within the Chassagne appellation, producing a wine that is both complex and fruity.
