Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Les Gueulottes Capitain-Gagnerot 2020

The Chardonnay vines thrive on soils mainly consisting of white marl, from which they draw all the nutrients they need. The estate first hand-picks the fruit before transporting it to the winery. Once the grapes have been carefully sorted and destalked, they are lightly pressed for around four hours. Alcoholic fermentation is then completed in oak casks at a temperature of 20 degrees. Lastly, the cuvée is aged in oak casks for around six months before being bottled.
The pale gold colour with light tints of green promises a fresh, fragrant bouquet. The nose is indeed characterised by aromas of white fruits and peaches, combined with a light minerality. The fresh and lively mouthfeel delicately affirms the aromas of the nose while building to an elegant, delicious and persistent finish.
