The Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard was created in 1985 by Laurence Gagnard from the Gagnard family in Chassagne, and Richard Fontaine, who had served as an air force mechanic before establishing the new domaine with his wife. The original four hectares of vineyards came primarily from the Gagnards in Chassagne. Over the next twenty years, the family undertook an ambitious campaign to purchase vineyards in Chassagne and gradually increased the size of the domaine to 12 hectares. Since 2007, the domaine has been ably guided by Céline Fontaine, who combines a youthful energy and touch with the Burgundian tradition established by her parents, and crafts archetypal examples of some of the greatest climats in the world. Fontaine-Gagnard is one of the finest traditional domaines in the Côte d’Or. A true specialist of Chassagne, the estate produces excellent wines that set the bar high for each vintage and reflect their wide range of grand terroirs.
