I really enjoyed this; maybe the most open bottle of Gaunoux I've had actually; red fruit alongside lots of loamy earth, some mushroom, dried violet, leaf litter, and just a hint of iron. The palate is open and while definitely still old school Burgundy it is almost plush compared to a couple other bottles; it paired very well with a truffle stuffed pork loin which captured the earthiness of the wine and still allowed the red fruit to show. The balance and depth were excellent and there is no rush on this. That said it is drinking well now with food. I did decant this for 45 min prior to serving.

Lovely. Nice Pommard richness and good mossy notes on nose. Light body with correct power. Red fruits, raw cacao, a little Nam pla. Structure is loosely knit and there is a just a faint tiredness here. Really enjoyable.

Garnet colored, light medium bodied, this was elegant and refined with fresh with dusty rose violets, earthiness, red currant and plum and fruits. It showed smooth silky fine-grained tannins with excellent length on the balanced, delicious and complex finish.

The nose shows medium power, some nicely extracted and delicate notes of sap. The palate has grace and sophistication, harmony with firm but ripe tannins on the finish.
