Jean-Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Les Chenevottes 2010

The Chassagne Montrachet Chenevottes 2010 from Jean-Noel Gagnard is starting to show more and more complexity. In the nose fine fruit and minerality, with notes of citrus, acacia, wet rocks and a hint of exotic orchard fruits. On the palate very fine and crisp acidity, a good midpalate concentration with lovely silky fruit. It’s a charming wine with a fine terroir expression and a good acidity – nicely balanced by the quite rich fruit. A lovely Chassagne … would give it 5 years more in the cellar, should keep at least 10 years.

(Drink from 2017) Very Good+ – 90p
