Domaine Michel Gaunoux
About Domaine Michel Gaunoux
A family estate that comes “warmly recommended” by Burgundy expert William Kelley (Wine Advocate), Domaine Michel Gaunoux remains one of “the region’s best-kept secrets”, producing “formidably structured wines” (WA) of which lovers of traditionally styled red Burgundy should take note.
The tiny 10 ha Domaine Michel Gaunoux comprises parcels in the "Corton Les Renardes" Grand Cru and several superb Pommard Premier Cru plots. The Domaine was founded by the Gaunoux family in 1885 and is now managed by Alexandre Gaunoux. Unique in that their wines can only be purchased post-bottling, much like Château Latour, they only release wines when they are deemed ready. Winemaking methods here are also very traditional, with late harvests, natural yeasts and ageing with minimal new oak.

Wine Advocate (94)One of the highlights of this tasting was the 2013 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru, a beautiful wine that bursts from the glass with a surprisingly expressive bouquet of wild berries, plums and spices, complemented by savory bass notes of dark chocolate, game bird and dried ceps. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with terrific concentration, racy acids and a long, penetrating finish. The combination of ultra-refined tannins and mouthwatering cut makes for a very elegant style of Corton-Renardes this year, and it will delight Burgundy purists. |

Wine Advocate (94)The 2017 Corton-Renardes Grand Cru wafts from the glass with a complex bouquet of cherries, raspberries, forest floor, warm spices and a deft application of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep and concentrated core of fruit, framed by racy acids and powdery tannins. The finish is long and penetrating. Unusually approachable for a Gaunoux Renardes, this is nonetheless constructed for a long and rewarding life. |

Burghound (94)Like the Bourgogne there is a mentholated element to the ripe aromas of poached plum and mix of various red and dark cherry scents that convey a whisper of the sauvage. The highly seductive, indeed suave medium weight plus flavors that envelope the palate with sappy dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the wonderfully long, dusty, austere and lengthy finish that also displays just a barely perceptible trace of warmth. Lovely stuff and in contrast to several of the preceding wines, this could be reasonably approached after 7 to 8 years though it should repay up to twenty. |
