Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard benefits from this family experience and a terroir composed of Grand Cru and Premier Cru. It produces great Burgundy wines, both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Céline Fontaine-Gagnard took over the domaine from her parents in 2007. She is committed to making the most of this exceptional terroir through sustainable vine-growing.
