Domaine Gagnard Delagrange - 2005 En Primeur
Tasting with Jacques Gagnard is a little adventure back in time. As an elder statesman of Chassagne, he has the use of a particularly long retrospectroscope but even he struggled to remember a vintage a perfect as 2005. His wines showed a lovely degree of elegance and freshness and deliver excellent value for money. We particularly liked the Boudriotte, which showed real finesse and a degree of tension that is a perfect counterpoint to the inherent richness of the vintage.
