Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru 'Morgeot' Rouge, Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard 2018
The 2018 Morgeot Rouge from Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard opens with vibrant aromas of ripe red cherries, wild berries, and a touch of warm spice. The palate is silky yet structured, with refined tannins and a lovely balance of fruit and earthiness. Subtle oak aging adds hints of vanilla and a gentle smokiness, leading to a long, polished finish. A refined and age-worthy red that drinks beautifully now but will continue to evolve over time. A perfect match for roasted meats, game, or earthy mushroom dishes. Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard's excellent reputation is based upon the especially high quality of its white wines. However, they also produce very lovely reds which are not only beautifully pure expressions of Pinot Noir but are also very attractively priced.
Clos I Terrasses, Laurel 2019
The Laurel is the estate’s marvellous second wine (although this is more like a Forts de Latour or Carruades de Lafite than a mere second label!), which is also on fine form in 2019. If you like rich, southern Rhone-ish style wines but also appreciate freshness and balance, if you like round, supple, velvety tannins, and wines with spicy, high-toned cassis and forest fruit character, if you like wines from exciting, up-and-coming regions with exceptional critical ratings at unexpectedly reasonable prices, in other words if you like wine...then you should really take a case or three of this!
