Chassagne Montrachet Vergers, Domaine Fontaine Gagnard 2014

Tasting Notes

Given how clean most wines from Fontaine are in 2014, this was a definitely surprise with its conspicuous lactic-tinged nose. Otherwise there is both good detail and verve on the medium weight flavors that possess a clean, dry and lemony finish. As the description suggests the nose is completely atypical and while the rest of the wine is acceptable, I honestly don't know where this might go over time.
