{"title":"Domaine Francois Gaunoux","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChateau Gaunoux has been exploited by the Gaunoux family, installed in Côte d’Or, for several centuries. The domain, of approximately 10 hectares, covers Meursault, Volnay, Pommard, Beaune and, since 1996, Puligny-Montrachet. It is exploited by François Gaunoux and his daughter Claudine Gaunoux. Since January 2013, the estate is the owner of Meursault Clos Des Meix Chavaux Monopole, with a surface of 3,47 ha. This mixture of tradition and modernity, François Gaunoux transmitted it perfectly to his daughter, Claudine: \"We are proud of the quality of our vineyard and the age of our plots. Replantings are rare and sustained, which avoids making light wines. The harvest is exclusively carried out by hand, with pickers. The second fermentation takes 15 to 18 months for red and white wines. They are filtered and bottled at the Château. Nowadays, one still finds in our cellars wines of the beginning of the century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"francois-gaunoux-pommard-les-tavannes-2009","title":"Francois Gaunoux Pommard les Tavannes 2009","description":"","brand":"The Wine House Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32217540165686,"sku":"FR2009FKV1R","price":600.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0126\/7007\/4944\/products\/FrancoisGaunouxPommardTavannes2009.png?v=1589951913"},{"product_id":"francois-gaunoux-meursault-clos-de-tavaux-2012-monopole","title":"Francois Gaunoux Meursault Clos de Tavaux 2012 (Monopole)","description":"\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4\/2\/2020 - \u003ca data-hovercard=\"ajaxpersonpopup.asp?iUserOverride=28590\u0026amp;CK=63fd9d3cdcb6c397dc0bea295b7f6190\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.cellartracker.com\/note.asp?iWine=2264205\u0026amp;iNote=8276690\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cellartracker.com\/note.asp?iWine=2264205\u0026amp;iNote=8276690\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.cellartracker.com\/note.asp?iWine=2264205\u0026amp;iNote=8276690\"\u003eMRBUZZ LIKES THIS WINE:\u003c\/a\u003e92 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"\u003eThird bottle...a true joy!

While I was looking for info on these wines, I noticed there isn't much, and came across an interesting note that Francois doesn't let critics into the cellar to taste their wines, and doesn't give barrel samples...and pretty much doesn't really want just anyone to buy his wines. \"No soup for you\" vigneron. Not in it for profit, just to stay true to their roots. Hmmm...know wonder Jean-Michel went out on his own? On to the bottle...\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHmmm...this is different? Very fresh and clean...more like a grenache blanc or a non ox Jura? Somewhat sweet peach tea, waxy banana skin, yellow apples...ripe and almost oily orchard fruit...it's really nice fruit? Zero match strike reduction(which I LOVE in my white burgs)...not much minerality...maybe some chalk dust...blanched almonds...lees...enough lemon\/orange citrus acidity to keep this from being cloying. Really soft and waxy...kind of Raveneaux-esk. At first I'm kind of repulsed, as this says NOTHING of Meursault...but it gains on you...as it warms there IS some limestone minerality...some saline crushed stone...pretty floral perfume...kind of reminds me when I first had a 05 Arnaud Ente Referts? Too clean and stripped, yet it gained. A Monopole village wine...intriguing, and I really don't know how to think on this one? I need another sample of maybe a cru to really gauge this producer? For now, this could go either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Wine House Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32223600312374,"sku":"FR2012FKQ1W","price":500.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0126\/7007\/4944\/products\/FrancoisGaunouxMeursaultClosdeTavaux2012_Monopole.png?v=1589952706"}],"url":"https:\/\/the-wine-house-limited.myshopify.com\/collections\/domaine-francois-gaunoux\/red.oembed","provider":"The Wine House Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
