2021 Domaine Gachot-Monot Côte de Nuits Villages
5/10/2024 - Beaunedoc Likes this wine: 91 Points
Impressions from 3 samples, each 24 hours apart from the same bottle. This is a young wine with quality oak in need of time to integrate. The fruit is ripe and nicely delineated, but obviously from a vintage different than many of those preceding it. There’s more acid (ripe not tart) and less flesh. I noted baking spices, hints of black pepper, orange peel, white florals and undergrowth. With time it may garner a higher score. My experience with this wine since the 2015 vintage has been uniformly positive.

Should you have aged this wine, don’t panic. It’s fine presently. It’s not up to spicy curries or BBQ, but for the cuisine of the region it’s very pleasant. The wine is lighter bodied and more delicate than I expected. It is not over extracted. I note black fruits, mostly baked black plums with a touch of brown spices. Or plum preserves. And some black cherry skin, too. It was reticent initially, but each pour has shown more volume and intrigue. The acidity is balanced and the tannins are fine and transient on the palate.

On opening, the wine was so severely reduced that I opened another bottle of a different wine. The wine demonstrated black fruits, black cherry, blackberry and black current. I appreciate the comments about tobacco nuances. At 24 hours, the wine was remarkably more pleasant. Pure cab franc, good ripeness, fine boned structure and quite enjoyable. The tannins were fine and the acids were ripe. Quite user friendly, but not a “pop and gulp” bottle at present.
