Paul Jouard Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes
Quite nice. Shows good depth of color, with aromas and flavors of black cherry, briary berry, cassis and a touch of vanilla. Good balanced mouthfeel.

When we visited him last March, he was late for the rendez-vous because he was trying to maximize his time pruning the vines in the vineyards. Read more...

View wine...Formidable, built for the ages. Tightly wound in its youth, with lots of spice, apple and fig among the layers of aromas and flavors. Incredible nuances and flavors as it develops.
View wine...Wow – complex even in youth, with layered vanilla, acacia, litchi and cream. Powerful, but retains a sense of elegance.
View wine...Beautiful length and balance, with ripe floral bouquet, pear and spice. Crisp with good mineral expression.
View wine...Floral, white peach and smoky pear aromas, bit of minerality in the center, oak is nicely integrated.
View wine...Creamy citrus fruit up front, touch of minerality in midpalate, good length to finish.
View wine...Very nice at this level – white peach, melon and citrus fruit, balanced acidity across the palate. Wonderful entry-level wine.
