Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard is a family-owned estate situated in Chassagne-Montrachet. Since 1989 the Domaine has been managed by Jean-Noël’s daughter, Caroline Lestimé, who converted the vineyards into organic viticulture. This cuvée comes from Bâtard-Montrachet, the prestigious Grand Cru where Gagnard owns a 0.36-hectare plot. While the 2011 vintage in Burgundy presented its challenges, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard managed to produce wines that display their expertise and dedication to winemaking.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. The Bâtard-Montrachet 2011 courtesy of Caroline Lestimée has a refined bouquet: bashful at first but opening nicely with scents of lime flower, lemon zest and limestone that are well defined. However, it does require more coaxing than its peers. The palate is crisp and taut with fine acidity. The oak is a little pronounced at the moment, but there is sufficient fruit for it to be assimilated with another 2 or 3 years in bottle. Good potential. Neal Martin30th November 2014
