Domaine Pierre Gonon

Yields were healthy in 2018, Pierre and Jean Gonon told me, checking in at a relatively (for this painstakingly maintained domaine) at 35hl/ha. That was a huge relief after the meagre harvest in 2017, Jean Gonon told me. He also pointed out that the tannin levels in the 2018s, while healthy, are in good relationship to the wine's lush fruit, allowing the wines to be enjoyed on the young side, if one wishes, but with the depth and power to repay cellaring as well. The 2017s, he pointed out, are fully ripe, as one might expect from such a hot year, but he thinks that the wines have “the energy to age well, if not as long as, say, the 2015s,” which he warned “really shouldn’t be drunk now or even any time soon; they require patience.” Once again, the 2018 Les Iles de Feray bottling, made from fruit grown in Saint-Joseph, is an excellent wine in the making and it will deliver outstanding value.
