FONTAINE GAGNARD 2023 CHASSAGNE LES VERGERS 1ER CRU

Smoky aromas of apple, pear, petrol and rosemary oil give way to gorgeously textured, caressing and decidedly punchy medium-bodied flavors that possess fine mid-palate density, all wrapped in a linger, balanced and bitter zest-inflected finish. Again, this could use better depth so at least a few years of patience should be helpful. -Allen Meadows, BURGHOUND 91 POINTS
