Jean-Michel, a descendant of a historic family of winemakers (his father François was a legendary name in the area), now manages approximately 6 hectares of vineyards located in some of the most prestigious terroirs of Meursault, Pommard, and Volnay. The unique characteristic of this domaine is its commercial philosophy: Jean-Michel is one of the very few producers to keep a significant portion of his cuvées in the cellar, selling them only when he believes they have reached ideal maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Style: Structure, Longevity, and Rigour\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Michel Gaunoux's wines are famous for their \"direct\" character and their incredible ability to evolve. The white wines of Meursault avoid the easy modern buttery softness, focusing instead on a mineral, taut, and deep structure that fully reveals itself after a few years in the bottle. The red wines of Pommard and Volnay reflect the same hand: they are substantial, frank wines, with a well-defined tannic texture that guarantees extraordinary longevity. These are not wines made for immediate pleasure, but to evoke emotion over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Winemaking\u003c\/b\u003e In the cellar, Jean-Michel follows a rigorous protocol aimed at enhancing the purity of the terroir. Grapes are hand-harvested at full ripeness; for the whites, fermentation and aging take place in barriques with a very moderate use of new wood (maximum 20-30%), to avoid masking the minerality of the soil. The reds undergo classic winemaking with long but gentle macerations. The result is a range of wines of rare consistency, which have become a benchmark for collectors seeking the essence of traditional Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStrengths\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eElite Terroir:\u003c\/b\u003e Holdings in legendary Premier Cru areas such as Perrières and Goutte d’Or.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaster of Aging:\u003c\/b\u003e One of the few wineries to offer vintages ready for consumption with several years of aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eClassic Style:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep and rigorous wines, distinct from commercial standardizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"borgogna-jean-michel-gaunoux-pinot-noir-meaursault-criots-2022","title":"Burgundy Jean Michel Gaunoux Pinot Noir Meursault Criots 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb class=\"\" data-index-in-node=\"3\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eMeursault Rouge \"Criots\" 2022\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb class=\"\" data-index-in-node=\"36\" data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003eJean-Michel Gaunoux\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e is a rarity that deserves special attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e While Meursault is universally known for its legendary white wines,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e this parcel demonstrates how Pinot Noir,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e grown on the highly calcareous soils typical of the area,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e can produce red wines of surprising finesse and mineral tension.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eJean-Michel Gaunoux Meursault Rouge \"Criots\" 2022\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Unexpected Elegance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"3\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eMeursault Rouge \"Criots\" 2022\u003c\/b\u003e from Domaine Jean-Michel Gaunoux is a fascinating wine that defies preconceptions.

In a generous and bright vintage like 2022, Jean-Michel Gaunoux managed to maintain a crystalline freshness, offering a red that combines the fruitiness of Burgundy with the noble mineral austerity of Meursault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eSensory Profile\u003c\/b\u003e In the glass, it presents a bright, light ruby red color. The nose is an explosion of tart small red fruits: cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate, enriched by delicate notes of undergrowth and a very distinct chalky mineral accent. On the palate, the entry is direct, almost taut, with a very fine and silky tannic texture. Despite its apparent lightness, the wine possesses great energy and a saline persistence that elegantly and refreshingly prolongs the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003ePhilosophy and Vinification\u003c\/b\u003e Faithful to the classic style of the domaine, Jean-Michel Gaunoux vinifies the \"Criots\" with extreme delicacy so as not to overpower the aromatic fragility of Meursault Pinot Noir. Fermentation takes place in open vats, followed by aging in French oak barriques for about 14-16 months. The use of new wood is kept to a minimum to preserve the purity of the fruit and the transparency of the terroir. The wine thus expresses a frank and authentic character, ready to be enjoyed young or capable of evolving positively for several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/b\u003e This elegant red is perfect with poultry dishes (quail, guinea fowl) or delicate white meats such as pork fillet with prunes.
