Domaine Jean-Nöel Gagnard, Chassagne Les Masures 2012

By Steen Öhman July 11, 2014 -

The Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures (village) is a step up from Les Chaumes - although its slightly closed at the moment.

I have a soft spot for the Chaumees vineyard - with it’s limestone minerality and balance. In the nose its very extrovert with a bit more sweetness in the fruit than the Chenevottes - notes of yellow fruit with hints of peach, pineapple and hazelnuts. On the palate very harmonious and delicate with …
