Domaine Gagey

see under Jadot in Négociants' 2021 burgundies

Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard (Chassagne-Montrachet)

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Masures 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet

15.5 /20

White

Cask sample. Quite intense nose. But pretty severe on the finish and a little astringent. (JR)

Drink: 2026 – 2035

Price: £POA per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Cailleret Premier Cru 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet

16 /20

White

Cask sample. Edgy and reasonably fine textured but a tad chewier than I’d prefer. (JR)

Drink: 2028 – 2040

Price: £POA per case of 6 ib Berry Bros & Rudd

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Chenevottes Premier Cru 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet

16.5 + /20

White

Cask sample. Lots of precision here as well as quite a whack of ripe fruit. Absolutely clean and more direct than I remember in some previous years. (JR)

Drink: 2024 – 2034

Price: £350 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Les Petits Clos Premier Cru 2021 Chassagne-Montrachet

16.5 /20

White

Even more intense than the Chenevottes though I'm not sure the premium is quite warranted. Lots to chew on. (JR)

Drink: 2026 – 2036

Price: £575 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks

Dom Jean-Noël Gagnard, Clos de Tavannes Premier Cru 2021 Santenay

15 + /20

Red

Very pale garnet. A bit raw and hard. Definitely not as convincing as the 2021 whites from this address. (JR)

Drink: 2026 – 2034

Price: £270 per case of 6 ib Justerini & Brooks
