Domaine Jean-Nöel Gagnard, Chassagne Les Chaumes 2012

By Steen Öhman July 9, 2014 -

The Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumes (village) is a classic wine from the appellation. In the nose rich orchard fruits ... forward and charming ... focused by a citrus driven minerality. On the palate good weight for this level - focused by a quite crisp acidity and a nice minerality for this level. …

On the palate very harmonious and delicate with …

There are many fine vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet - but Les Caillerets is in my view in a league of its own. The 2012 Caillerets from Jean-Nöel Gagnard confirms this status. The nose is delicately refined with airy white orchard fruit and a filigree citrus infused minerality. On the palate very …
