One of those claret-like vintages

very focused

Bitter chocolate

truffles and fragrant earth with a waft of cedar chest

Once again there is an appealing texture to the rich and succulent middle weight flavors that possess lovely vibrancy on the mildly rustic finale

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Petits Clos Vintage:2017 One of those claret-like vintagesOnce 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.
