This is suffused by minerality and this coupled with the superb detail confers a precise but not austere character to the flavors and finish

Moderately strong wood and menthol elements frame the aromas of essence of red cherry

A cooler and more restrained features prominent citrus nuances on the aromas of green apple

Broad nose with a bit more depth [than the 2009 tasted alongside]

There is a slightly finer mouth feel to the equally large-scaled flavors where the supporting tannins are notably fine-grained that imparts a different texture

Jean Noel Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Morgeot Rouge other_regions_italy This is suffused by minerality(from Clos Chareau and Grand Clos). A more deeply pitched and slightly riper nose features notes of red cherry, spice, freshly ground pepper and more earth influence. There is better size, weight and richness if not the same refinement to the solidly powerful, more austere and slightly rustic finale. Note that this is firm enough to repay up to a decade of keeping.
