Fontaine Gagnard, Volnay Clos Chenes Size:6x750ml The elevation of the vineyards Vintage:1944 The elevation of the vineyards is especially noticeable in a ripe vintage like 2015 as the medium weight flavors display plenty of minerality and a racy energy that carries over to the saline finish that is shaped by relatively fine grained tannins The 2023 Magnetic North comes from ungrafted vines on their own roots from a massal selection Once again the medium weight flavors possess a really lovely mid palate texture that contrast somewhat with the serious and stony finish that is ever so mildly drying today cool and admirably pure nose is comprised by notes of essence of red pinot fruit and pretty floral nuances
