2023 Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Vergers' 750ml Bottle

From a 0.71ha parcel of old vines planted in 1972. This is one of the best Vergers from FG that I have tasted as a young wine. It's very deep and dense, classy and long. This great 1er Cru is just 400mt SW of Montrachet itself.

'The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers ler Cru has a bright nose with yellow plum, white peach and light sea spray scents that opens beautifully in the glass. The palate is very well balanced and quite intense with a bit more body than other cuvées. It's a little honeyed toward the finish but the acidity keeps everything in check. This is a charming Chassagne.'
