PRODUCER

Jean-Noel Gagnard

Domaine Jean-Noel Gagnard is in Chassagne-Montrachet. It has been owned and operated by the same family since the mid-18th century but it was not until the 1960s that Jean-Noel Gagnard inherited the domaine and began bottling under this own label. Today the 28-acre estate is run by his daughter Caroline Lestime. The domaine has a Grand Cru parcel in Batard- Montrachet and white Premier Crus in Chassange-Montrachet. Though best known for its white wines, it also has Premier Cru reds in Clos Saint-Jean, Morgeot and Santenay.
