Jean Noel Gagnard Bourgogne Blanc Sous Eguisons 2022

This small parcel was planted in the early to mid-2000s high above the village, Saint-Aubin, further toward the west of Chassagne-Montrachet. It’s delicious and serious Chardonnay deeply marked by its terroir: 430-450 meters of altitude (30% higher than most that lie on the Côte), colder weather than vineyards on the Côte d’Or main slope, spare clay and limestone rock topsoil and limestone bedrock. This is the highest energy and frequency in her range of still white wines and over-delivers on expectations, even from this special winegrower.
