From the Northern end of Chassagne, lower part of slope, and facing east. A Chassagne that is lovely out of the gate.
Notes from The Source:
"In 1989, after returning from business school in Paris, Caroline L’Estimé took over the winemaking and vineyard direction from her father, Jean-Noël Gagnard. The style at this Chardonnay focused domaine is one of subtlety led with gentle sweet golden earth tones."
