The 2021 Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Les Petits Clos Premier Cru is a refined white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grapes. Sourced from a 0.32-hectare parcel within the esteemed Morgeot vineyard, this wine benefits from southeast-facing slopes and limestone-rich soils, contributing to its elegance and complexity.

Mid yellow. Some weight though not as yet much detail. The Petit Clos shows very significant volume on the palate, ripe apple, confit citron, a richer if not yet refined texture. A touch of sandalwood. The inherent power indicates that this will need time.
