About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of ChardonnayBurgundy, France Jean 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 Halliday.

"There is just enough wood present to remark upon setting off the penetrating nose of petrol, floral, white orchard fruit and subtle citrus nuances. The round and seductively textured, indeed even opulent, medium-bodied flavours possess much more volume on the much more complex and persistent finish. While this should reward up to a decade of cellaring, it should also be reasonably approachable young.
