Burgundy, France
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of ChardonnayBurgundy, FranceJean Noel Gagnard handed his eponymous Domaine to his daughter Caroline Lestimé in 1989. She had studied business in Paris, before returning to the village to take over the reins of the family estate, and had to handle male chauvinism at its most rampant. Nonetheless, she has followed her own convictions, and enhanced (rather than diminished) the reputation of this fine producer. In the vineyard, she uses no fertilisers or herbicides, but has not taken hold of the biodynamic bible.- James Hallid

Medium bodied white wines have a lightly textured mouthfeel with moderate flavour impact. Often pale lemon coloured to pale gold.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

"More elegant aromas are comprised by essence of white orchard fruit, spice and hint of citrus. The mouthfeel of incredibly rich, full-bodied and powerful flavours is textured and overtly opulent, all wrapped in a dry, sappy and palate etching finish that brims with minerality.
