The 2017 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Volnay Premier Cru Clos des Chênes is one of the finest red wines produced by this highly respected Chassagne-Montrachet estate. While Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard is best known for its outstanding white Burgundies, under the guidance of Céline Fontaine the domaine's Pinot Noirs have become increasingly sought-after, with Clos des Chênes regarded as one of its flagship red wines. Sourced from the prestigious Clos des Chênes Premier Cru, one of Volnay's most celebrated vineyards, the wine comes from brown limestone-rich soils that produce Pinot Noir of exceptional elegance, perfume and longevity. The 2017 vintage is beautifully balanced, combining generous fruit with refined tannins and excellent accessibility while retaining the structure for long ageing.
