Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Vergers

Information

Description

Les Vergers is Fontaine-Gagnard's Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru whose name recalls a former orchard site. Chardonnay grows on shallow, gravelly red soils rich in iron nodules, with south- and southwest-facing exposure. Cellar work uses indigenous yeasts and maturation in oak barrels. The wine's character is supported by naturally high acidity, bringing energy and freshness to the palate. Almond and fruit aromas accompany this lively profile, in which the vineyard's soil and position remain important points of reference for understanding this particular white wine within the estate's Premier Cru range.
