Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Boudriotte Blanc Vintage:2018 Noticeable oak on the palate(from Les Chaumes). There is just enough wood present to remark upon setting off the penetrating nose of petrol, floral, white orchard fruit and subtle citrus nuances. The round and seductively textured, indeed even opulent, medium bodied flavors possess much more volume on the much more complex and persistent finish. While this should reward up to a decade of cellaring, it should also be reasonably approachable young. (90 93) 2024+
