Ex-Air Force engineer Richard Fontaine has managed a remarkable feat of excellence in his second career. In a little over 20 years, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard has become one of the very top estates in Chassagne Montrachet. However, the thoughtful, hard-working and modest Richard is no seeker of fame and acclaim preferring to concentrate on his vines and his cellar. For sheer quality, terroir definition, balance and all-round drinkability, these wines are virtually unbeatable, especially at the price. A top source.
