Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Petits Clos Vintage:2017 What impresses me most about

What impresses me most about the 2009s is the elegance of their tannin

There is excellent vibrancy to the detailed and stony middle weight flavors that are not particularly dense but do offer outstanding length where the supporting tannins are quite fine grained in the context of what is typical for Lavaux

displaying intense dark berry and floral scents complicated by suggestions of olive

Bitter chocolate

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Petits Clos Vintage:2017 What impresses me most aboutOnce again there is a vague mintiness to the otherwise cool and elegant aromas of mostly floral and citrus wisps. The finer but markedly less powerful medium weight flavors possess a succulent mid palate yet no lack of detail on the nicely dry and persistent but not really austere finale. This is really quite pretty and a wine that should reward up to a decade of cellaring.
