The 2005 Jean Noel Gagnard seems to be showing early signs of premox (and no, a 1er cru Chassagne shouldn't collapse at age ten), showing a deep amber-gold colour, and nose of marmalade, banana and lots of new oak poking through. On the palate the wine is beginning to crack up, with a curtailed finish. There is none of Cailleret's mineral signature here.

From Magnum. Lovely young white burgundy, showing the vintage, terroir and producer very well. A little richness / sweetness from the vintage perfectly balanced with the minerals, fruits and herbs. Classic earthy Chassagne, this is drinking well now but I can only think that it will improve with time

Casual (Mostly) Burg Dinner with Friends (Paris Club - Chicago IL): Not much pleasure here tonight, ok fruit, bitter on finish. Clearly something wrong with this bottle, but tough to say the exact problem. Well devoid of fruit vs previous bottles, but not corked. Possibly heat damaged, but not stewed.

green apple, intense minerality and excellent balance are the hallmark of this wine and this is a nice vintage, though probably a little young. long, long finish.

Drank at Davies Wine Tasting Evening
A beautiful way to start an evening. Lots of fruit in the nose green apple and gooseberry. Has a great length and finish.
Can last another 3-5 years but is drinking now
Took a while to open up and needs time in the decanter
