Beautiful dark ruby color. Black fruits on nose, with a freshness. Rich and fat on the palate mouth with good tannins.Vinification
Manual harvesting. Sorted and 100% de-stemmed. Fermentation and maceration for about 20 days. No chaptalization. Wines set in so the wood does not dominate. MLF in casks. Wine moved using compressed air. Bottling (by gravity) after 15 months.Press
- (89-91) points - "Top Producer" - Burghound: "(from a 1.06 ha parcel planted in 1950) This too is quite aromatically fresh with more pepper influence on the pretty mix of red currant and airy floral nuances. There is equally good vibrancy and detail to the lighter weight flavors where the relatively sleek texture contrasts somewhat with the dusty, serious and moderately structured finale. This is really quite good and worthy of consideration. Drink 2025+."- Allen Meadows, Burghound
- (88-90) points - Wine Advocate: "From seventy-year-old vines, the 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet La Goujonne bursts from the glass with a perfumed bouquet of crunchy red fruits and flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, succulent and flavorful, with a light structuring chassis of youthfully chewy tannin and a mouthwatering finish."- William Kelley, Wine Advocate
