textural but incisive

why hold off any longer

A reflection of just how good the 2005 vintage is

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Caillerets other_regions Leaning to the orange side(from 35+ year old vines). This is almost always the best 1er in the range and so it is again in 2017 with its restrained and ultra fresh nose of citrus, mineral reduction, white flower and soft spice elements. Here too the middle weight flavors are quite racy though with much more minerality that really emerges on the beautifully persistent finish where the firm core of ripe acidity makes clear that this beauty is going to require patience.
