2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Chassagne-Montrachet Les Chaumées

After the Chevenottes this fuller and rounder – it’s very silky. Good balance and has a wider and slightly richer finish.

Faint herbs on the nose.. In the mouth there’s a dense impression of flavour that only very slowly decays – yet there is fine if understated acidity. Just a little full today, perhaps because it’s only been in bottle for a few days.

A tiny amount of sulfur on the nose. In the mouth this both mineral and intense – and has a lovely, lingering acidity. Joyous!

The nose is a little more generous than the previous wines. In the mouth it’s more complex than the preceding wines with flavour that grows in the mid-palate and is very long lasting.

The nose is more detailed with that background of Chassagne herbs. Lovely freshness – wide yet very mineral. Super-intense. I find this absolutely lovely!

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Bâtard-Montrachet

By billn on April 08, 2011

Fuller on the nose – there’s quite some authority here. There is more gras but this is far from a heavy Bâtard. Flavour ingrains in your palate – the more you want, the more you get, it’s just a matter of how long you can keep it in your mouth. This wine is very impressive indeed.

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Chassagne-Montrachet Cuvée L'Estimé

By billn on April 08, 2011

There is a core of dense and dark red fruit on the nose – with flashes of pure cherry. The flavour builds and builds; the tannin has a slight ‘grab’ but almost no astringency – this will be a super-ebulient wine in it’s youth, but perhaps wait another six months.

(Red) This nose has a wider impression of fruit, tinged with a little herbs. More tannin, again with a little grab but finely grained. The flavour slowly lingers in the finish – more mineral than fruit. It would be silly to call Morgeots an elegant wine, but after the l’Estimé I think you will understand what I mean.
