About the Producer

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.
About the Latest Vintage

Through tenacity and skill, Céline managed to rescue a good part of her crop from the ravages of frost. Where other growers abandoned their vineyards after the first painful night in early April, she persevered and went out the following two nights, armed with batteries of candles. She had to plan carefully where to deploy her resources, giving up on hillside plots like La Romanée which was too far gone to save, and focus instead on the Bâtards and other 1er crus. Candles, designed for spring frosts rather than the more severe black winter frost she faced, worked only when deployed over a large area, so cooperation with other growers was key. The reds suffered less because budbreak was later, and because many were trained according to the cordon de royat method, where sap flow is more sluggish vegetative growth delayed. The exception were vines in the Clos des Chênes, trained en guyot, which endured significant losses.

The remaining growing season threw up more challenges: although mildew and oidium were less of a problem, botrytis, arriving in early September, very much was. The harvest began on 18th September, when reds and the grand crus were picked, and after a short break due to rain, resumed on the 20th, finishing a few short days later.

The wines are lower in alcohol, never exceeding 13.5%, and like the 2016s, the whites are very concentrated, but the reds lighter in colour than recent vintages. Both red and white are per-fumed and bursting with fruit. They are a delight
