Origin and Terroir
Situated on the slopes of Côte de Beaune, the Les Hautes Mourottes vineyard benefits from limestone-rich soils and south-east exposure, contributing to the wine’s freshness, minerality, and aromatic precision.
Tasting Profile
Aroma
An enticing bouquet of wild cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and subtle forest floor notes emerges from the glass.
Palate
On the palate, expect a medium-bodied structure with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a lingering finish marked by slate-like minerality and a hint of spice.
Winemaking
Capitain-Gagnerot employs gentle whole-berry fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging in French oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months, ensuring a harmonious integration of fruit and oak.
Food Pairing
This elegant Burgundy is an ideal companion to roasted duck, game birds, mushroom risottos, and soft cow’s milk cheeses like Époisses or Brie.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 14–16°C. Enjoy now or cellar through 2030 to reveal greater complexity and depth.
