The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny 1er Cru, a monopole of 0.67 hectares, has a tightly wound bouquet that opens with aeration: brambly red fruit mixed with light loamy and woodland scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very mineral-driven with an almost flinty, stern and strict just like a Ruchottes on the finish. Excellent, but one for serious Burgophiles.

Varietal

Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

Decanter

Fonteny is the northern continuation of Mazis, and Clair’s 0.68ha monopole is the Clos du Fonteny at the top of the slope, in thin white marl soils over the limestone. 40% whole clusters are used in the fermentation and the wine ages in 30% new casks for 18 months. The result shows a perfumed red cherry fruit aroma, with bright floral notes, firm tannins and a crisp but tightly wound texture on the palate. Drinking Window 2024 - 2039.

A more elegant and equally airy if much more floral nose features aromas of essence of red currant, spice and a whiff of anise. There is very good energy to the focused, intense and nicely precise flavors that flash good minerality on the moderately austere and dusty finale. As is usually the case with this tightly wound wine, it's going to need close to a decade to really open.
