Gagnard Jean-Noël

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.

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.

2009 Gagnard Jean-Noël Santenay Clos des Tavannes

The nose has lighter-coloured red fruit – more red-currant/raspberry than cherry. Nicely full, with a little tannic grain. There is dark-red fruit flavour and a lovely balance. This is not just strikingly pretty, it has depth too.
