Domaine Jean-Noel Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot 1996

Popped and poured... beautiful Meyer lemon and hazelnut with an extremely attractive minerality and food-friendly, very mellow tartness ... 13.5% alc...
The 1996 vintage of Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet premier cru chardonnays are a joy. 
This one opened up over the course of the next 2 hours, divulging its depth and smoothness from age.  Paired with Sunday evening chicken Dijon, lemon-herb risotto and artichoke salad. 
We have enjoyed this wine several times over the past couple of years and its track record of success for an older white Burgundy is admirable.
