  • 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

    2020 was an easy vintage to work. Frost in early April caused worry, but the weather was dry and there was no damage. The vines grew rapidly and flowered perfectly; all was set for a generous vintage. The only problem was the lack of rain, with young vines particularly affected. Bunches facing west were struck by sunburn in the heatwave of early August, but some vineyards in the domaine – Vergers, Criots and half of Bâtard – are planted north-south, so were spared. A little rain fell just before the harvest, relieving the wines and hastening ripening. To the horror of Céline’s parents, who wanted to wait, picking began on 20th August, the earliest in the domaine’s history, and finished on 27th. But Céline was right: any longer and the grapes would have begun to shrivel, giving blunt, overripe wines with high alcohol levels. As it was, there were thick skins and little juice, but freshness was preserved.

     

    The domaine’s reds are trained in the Royat system, which gives lower yields and ripens more quickly. As a result, the skins and pips were at perfect phenolic ripeness despite the early harvest. So perfect were they that the musts were handled more gently than usual: there was less maceration, and less punching down during fermentation. Céline is very pleased with her whites, comparing them to the 2017s, and equally happy with her reds, one of Burgundy’s great bargains.
