2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Chassagne-Montrachet Blanchot Dessus

By billn on April 08, 2011

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.

This came in at 14° natural – Caroline said they had to react very fast as the sugars really started to take-off. The aromas are much fuller, a little warm fruit, yet it is clearly tight at the core. Good acidity, concentration amd impact – yet it’s still light on its feet. This starts wide and slowly fades – no mid-palate burst, but it is very long finishing.

Medium, medium-plus colour. A width of red cherry-fruit greets your nose. Super acidity and a little astringency to slightly sticky, blocky tannins. Nice, long flavours – very nice fruit. This will need a little cellar time but will be an okay bottle.

Finer aromas of more intense red berries and cherry. Again there is very good acidity and some astringency to the (also) slightly sticky tannins. A sneaky extra dimension of fruit flavour if not density versus the villages wine.

Wide aromas that are very cherry-fruited, good depth too. This is very nice across the palate, indeed very pretty. There’s good acidity alongside the lovely fruit, a little grain to the tannin and lots of flavour extending through the mid-palate into the finish – bravo!

A lovely fresh nose with delicate rather than ‘manly’ Chassagne fruit. Lovely acidity which slowly leaves your mouth watering. A very nicely balanced wine with good density.

This has a slightly warmer nose with more concentrated fruit at its core. Lovely texture, fruit and acidity here – lovely balance.

There is a step-up in aromatic density here, the fruit has creamy reflections, seems more serious too whilst retaining some understatement. The texture here reminds me of an 06 but just a little less sweet – very well balanced again.
