    The wine

    The Gaunoux family can date back their viticultural origins to the 16th century, and François Gaunoux has now been running the domain for 15 years. Marrying tradition and modernity, he is committed to practicing an agriculture in a style inherited via generations of vintners. The grapes are harvested by hand and, once in the winery, the Chardonnay bunches are destemmed. These vines benefit from an oceanic climate as well as soil rich in chalk and marl.
    In the glass, this wine has a pale golden hue. Its aromatic bouquet carries fresh and delicate notes of white fruit (pear, apple, peach), dried flowers, lime, hawthorn, butter, and patisserie. On the palate, its texture marries richness with a fine acidity, the sign of good ageing potential and an invitation to gastronomic food pairings.
    Think of uncorking this cuvée within its first ten years and pairing it with a dish like fresh pasta with leeks and goats’ cheese.

    Information about domain François Gaunoux

    Situated at Meursault, the Domaine Gaunoux covers 10 hectares and is managed by François and his daughter Claudine. The Gaunoux family arrived in the Côte d'Or several centuries ago (Henri Gaunoux, François' father, was a renowned winemaker at Pommard). The vineyard covers various prestigious appellations including Meursault, Pommard, Volnay, Beaune and Puligny-Montrachet, which are mainly Premiers Crus, and even a monopoly for Meursault Le Clos de Tavaux.
