Fontaine-Gagnard La Boudriotte 2013: Between Texture and Precison
At an unhurried lunch in Puligny-Montrachet, Fontaine-Gagnard La Boudriotte 2013 moved between density, delicacy and precision. The bottle reveals the history of a small Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, vines planted between 1945 and 1987 and a family domaine carrying knowledge across generations.
An unhurried lunch in Puligny-Montrachet, a mature Chassagne and the rare ability to carry delicacy and texture in the same glass.
Some bottles bring a place to the table. Others make the distance between the table and the vineyard almost disappear.
The Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru La Boudriotte 2013 arrived during an unhurried lunch at Le Montrachet, in the centre of Puligny-Montrachet. Sunlight crossed the terrace, caught the pale gold in the glass and left the worn label fully visible. Beyond the village, the vineyards began again. La Boudriotte itself lay a short distance south, in Chassagne-Montrachet, but the geography was close enough to remain present throughout the meal.
