Capitain Gagnerot Bourgogne Rouge Burgundy France, 2022, 750
Incredible Bourgogne sourced from an old plot of Pinot Noir planted in 1945. Juicy depth and, like all the Gagnerot wines a beautiful through line of pure elegant class. These wines in general are slept on, more for us! Truly what Burgundy is all about.
Ruby hue, the nose offers a vibrant bouquet of bright cherry, cranberry, raspberry, forest floor, baking spice and incense. Elegant and seamless, on the palate, it balances the beautiful expressive clarion call of the fruit, with the lighter delicate top notes, brilliant acidity and earthy mineral undertones.

The Domaine Gagnerot was established in 1802. After the second world war, Roger Capitain maintained the estate and passed the stewardship to his two sons, Patrice and Michel in the 1980’s. Now in the hands of the ninth generation, Pierre-Francois and Delphine carry the family tradition. Over the last two hundred plus years, the family has meticulously acquired parcels in the Cotes de Beaune and Cotes de Nuits and the resulting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are beautiful expressions of elegance and purity. The estate is certified Biodynamic. Voted “Winemakers of the Year” by the Guide Hachette for 2021. Organic.
