Community Tasting Note

etyc Likes this wine:

Thursday, April 1, 2021 - Fan-boy of Gaunoux wines (have had a quite a bit of the Rugiens), this is my 1st of a case of the '10 Grands-Epenots. Brought it for an impromptu dinner - Popped, and had it slow-ox'ed in bottle for ~2+ hrs prior to pouring. This certainly upheld my expectations - it almost exploded with a very pure, airy & lifted nose of red-berries/cherries (in fact, a bit too much giving/showing that some thought this was a new-world Pinot) with a tinge of sandalwood & floral spices. Sappy, velvety with oh-so-nice red-fruit-concentration on the palate, the purity & freshness followed with great after-taste of nice Iron-Buddha tea that left with it a nice inner-mouth perfume... When revealed this was a Burg with as old-school wine-making as it could be, guesses swung to a young (pretty) CdN wine; A friend noticed some structure beneath the wealth of fruit to which I then revealed it was CdB, and a Gaunoux... Bravo!
