The 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures is very good, unfurling in the glass with aromas of honeyed green orchard fruit, white flowers and pastry cream that are already nicely integrated. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent, with mouthwatering acids and a charmingly expressive core of fruit, concluding with a saline finish.

The 2012 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures (tasted from a two-year-old piece) has a strict, mineral-driven bouquet, perhaps a little reticent like the Les Chaumes. The palate is very seductive on the entry with pretty apricot notes, perhaps just a hint of quince. Fine weight in the mouth with good acidity, it fans out beautifully on the finish. Recommended. Arriving at the winery in Chassagne, I discovered Caroline L’Estime with her flaxen hair, rubber apron and Wellington boots, precariously perched upon a wooden plank above a vat, plunging her Clos Saint Jean rouge. I could not image such a scene in the Medoc. Their Armani suits would get juice splattered all over them. Once she had climbed down and wiped her purple stained hands, we descended to her barrel cellar, bidding hello to her father Jean-Noel in his trademark cloth cap, busying himself around the bubbling barrels of Chardonnay. The baton passed from father to daughter back in 1989, though Caroline is always so young and fresh-faced that you cannot imagine that she already has two decades under her belt. Gagnard’s wines are some of my favorite in Chassagne: consistent, well-crafted, honest and while they might have gained cultish adulation from overseas that can often exaggerate the quality inside the bottle, they more than satisfy Burgundy-lovers like myself and can age extremely well. Caroline’s whites are looking extremely promising this year, especially her Clos des Maltroye, Caillerets and my own personal favorite, her Blanchot-Dessus. And perhaps this is a year when they just might have the audacity to surpass her Batard-Montrachet. We will see – her solitary grand cru tends to be taciturn in its infancy. I found the reds less consistent: unashamedly rustic for the most part and not approaching the quality of her whites that are the mainstay of the domaine.

The 2013 Chassagne-Montrachet les Masures has quite an exotic bouquet with mango and lychee notes, touches of dried honey and wax resin all vying for attention. The palate is nicely balanced with brioche and walnut, lemon zest developing on the finish that has a pleasant fatness and volume. It just needs to control all those flavors by the time of bottling and you could have a very satisfying Chassagne.

The 2001 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures, sporting a nose of spiced pears, is fresh, zesty, and light to medium-bodied. This wine’s flavor profile reveals candied lemons and gravel.

The fat, plush 2002 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Masures was harvested at 13.1% natural potential alcohol. Its mineral and hazelnut-laced nose leads to a refined personality with excellent depth as well as loads of gravel flavors. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

The Chassagne Montrachet Les Mazures (a village appellation located just below the 1er Cru Champs Gain) reveals an elegant and buttery nose filled with deep mineral tones. In the mouth it displays vibrant tones of crisp apples. Medium-bodied, it should be drunk between 1999-2003. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. Ratings with a range of scores in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Importer: Classic Wine Imports, Boston, MA; tel (617) 731-6644.

The Chassagne-Montrachet Les Mazures reveals a floral nose and a super-focused, light-to-medium-bodied, crisp, and tangy core of minerals, lemon peels, and steel. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2004. The rating, with the range of scores in parentheses, indicates the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Jean-Noel Gagnard's brilliant 1996s will require patience as they have bracing acidity. These are rich, ripe and extremely well-made wines that, with time, will provide remarkable complexity, minerality, and, most importantly, pleasure.
