lush and juicy cherry and smoked rhubarb on the nose

bitter cherry and spicecake on the palate

humus and hints of freshly turned earth

there was no leaf thinning in July during this notoriously hot summer

austere and quite serious finale that delivers very fine persistence

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Petits Clos other_regions_australia lush and juicy cherry andOnce 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.
