DOMAINE JEAN-MICHEL GAUNOU
Cultivating 6 ha of vines on Meursault,Pommard,and Volnay, Jean- Michel worked with his father ,Francois Gaunoux, of Domaine Francois Gaunoux,until establishing Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux in 1990.
Practicing lutte raisonnée in the vineyard, Jean-Michel works the soil without pesticides, practicing green harvesting to ensure low yields. Via traditional vinification methods, Gaunoux's wines see 15-30% new oak and are bottled after 15-16 months; they are neither filtered nor fined, and their aging potential is outstanding.
Region:Pommard
Varietal:Pinot Noir
Taste:This wine shows berries, plums, woodsmoke cedar and spices on the nose. The palate is rich and layered with concentrated berry, spice, eath and smoked meat nuances. Bright, balanced acidity and supple tannins give it a lift and a caressing mouthfeel.
