Jean Noel Gagnard - Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Boudriotte 2022

In 1989, after returning from business school in Paris, Caroline L’Estimé took over the winemaking and vineyard direction from her father, Jean-Noël. Since then she has climbed to the upper echelon of the great white burgundy producers. She has some of the best premier cru sites, as well as a small parcel of the great grand cru Bâtard-Montrachet.  Caroline’s wines have a woman’s touch, show beautiful minerality and a consistent subtlety, both details that often get lost in the powerful and blocky white wines of Chassagne-Montrachet. Her father, Jean-Noël, is a bit of a legend in the industry for making beautifully crafted and age worthy wines. Plus, he’s an extremely nice man!

Sorted, pressed and settled for 24-48 hours. Ambient yeast primary and malolactic fermentation in used barrels at 18°C. Racked to the cellar underground to age 18 months on the lees in barrels (33% new). Fined with casein and lightly filtered when necessary.
