Although Chassagne-Montrachet is famous for its exceptional white wines, we must not forget the greatness of its historic reds. The soil composed of clay and sand on limestone is ideal for growing Pinot Noir. Although less common nowadays, the Chassagne-Montrachet rouge is still produced with great skill, and this example from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is a clear example of it.
Fontaine-Gagnard is one of the best traditional domaines of the Côte d'Or, a true Chassagne specialist, producing excellent wines that set the bar high with each vintage and reflect its wide range of great terroirs.
