Fontaine Gagnard, Bourgogne Rouge Vintage:2020 This is an interesting wine

This is an interesting wine at present as the nose is open yet the palate impression is compact and quite closed

There is both fine volume and power to the larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the sappy

pencil lead and oak spices before displaying a balanced structure with firm gripping tannins that will need another year or two in the bottle to settle

If the Rhys Horseshoe and Alpine bottlings are in perpetual friendly competition

Still seems to have lots of life

Fontaine Gagnard, Bourgogne Rouge Vintage:2020 This is an interesting wineA more deeply pitched, and slightly riper nose reflects notes of earth, humus, plum and a hint of dark pinot fruit. The lively and utterly delicious middle weight flavors possess better volume along with a bit more depth and persistence on the equally refreshing finish. This is almost always boxes above its weight chez Fontaine and it does so again in 2020.
