PRE-ORDER
Winemaker Notes
The 2019 Maison Caroline Lestimé Savigny-lès-Beaune "Les Planchots" Blanc presents a bright, perfumed nose characterized by notes of lemon, wet stones, and faint herbs. On the palate, this Chardonnay-based wine displays a beautiful "sucrocité" and a sleek, round texture that is expertly balanced by a vibrant, lively acidity on the finish. Crafted with minimal "bâttonage" (lees stirring) to preserve the purity of its fruit, the wine maintains a seamless interplay between oak, fruit, and earth, ensuring a fresh yet intense expression that is built to age gracefully for several years.
About Winery
Established in 1960 in Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy, by Jean-Noël Gagnard, this esteemed domaine is currently led by his daughter, Caroline Lestimé, who took over in 1989. Under her, the 12-14 hectare estate became known for organic, site-specific wines, focusing on precise, elegant Chardonnays, particularly from top Premier Cru sites like Les Caillerets.
