Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Masures 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 16.5

Something to grab the attention on the nose! Polished texture but assured fruit and classicism. A step up from some previous vintages. Really quite exciting. GV? (JR)

Drink 2027 – 2036

£305 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Chenevottes Premier Cru 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 16.5 +

More generous than the Masures. But I think purists may prefer the Masures, even though this has more stuffing and bite. (JR)

Drink 2028 – 2038

£380 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Petits Clos Premier Cru 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 16.5

Quite dense fruit – real volume here but some sweetness, which may not appeal to everyone. I've lost my heart to Les Masures ... (JR)

Drink 2027 – 2037

£560 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Clos de Tavannes Premier Cru 2023 Santenay 15.5

Pale cherry red. Some evolution on the nose. Very sweet, mellow start. But not the most refreshing. (JR)

Drink 2028 – 2035

£225 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Morgeot Premier Cru 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 17

Pure and satisfying with gentle tannins. Good, pure, refreshing wine. Elegant. (JR)

Drink 2030 – 2042

£255 per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd

Pierre-Olivier Garcia (Nuits-St-Georges)

Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Les Champs Tions 2023 Bourgogne Aligoté 16.5

Vegan. Promising aroma: intense, creamy, herbal citrus. Deep and generous on the palate but lacks the intensity of Boisset's Les Moutots (though I have not tasted the 2023). (JH)

Pierre-Olivier Garcia, La Montagne 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 16.5

Vegan. Light-to-mid crimson. Open and fragrant with tart red fruits. Attractively dry, chalky texture. Finest of tannins. (Apparently the red wines are all made with fruit that was manually destemmed so as not to break the berries.) Delicious but pricey. (JH)

Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Au Leurey 2023 Côte de Nuits-Villages 17

Vegan. Mid crimson. Vibrant, intense aroma of dark, peppery fruits, and a hint of stems. Quite stemmy on the palate. Fragrant, delicate, super-fine tannins but expensive, presumably because of the manual destemming. Persistent. (JH)

Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Les Herbues 2023 Nuits-St-Georges 17

Vegan. Beautifully perfumed with non-sweet and finely floral dark-red fruit. Finely tannic, scented from start to finish. A beauty, but seems more Chambolle that Nuits-St-Georges, except that the fruit is darker in character than typical Chambolle. (JH)

£117 RRP imported by Liberty Wines

Pierre-Olivier Garcia, Les Grandes Vignes 2023 Nuits-St-Georges 17.5

Vegan. Lightish cherry red. Sweet, ripe aroma of tangy red cherries. Deliciously dry, chalky tannins. Another beauty of elegance and restraint. Builds to a chewy finish and very long. (JH)
