On the palate, bright acidity, polished tannins and excellent concentration of flavour give this wine great structure and finesse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Clos Bortier’ vineyard sits at an altitude of 428 metres above sea level, overlooking the village of Saint Aubin. The Goyot-trained vines face south-west and are certified organic. Soils here are a combination of silt and clay, which lend intensity and freshness to the wine, and are enriched with biodynamic composts at the end of each winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrganic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomaine Jean-Noël Gagnard has been run by Caroline Lestimé, Jean-Noël’s daughter, since 1989. Their 12.5 hectares of vineyards have been certified organic since 2014 and are also farmed using biodynamic principles. Most of Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard’s vineyards are in the heart of Chassagne, although they own one vineyard, ‘Clos Bortier’, in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune. Planted in 2015, this site is just above Saint-Aubin and produces particularly sought-after wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the best sense of the phrase, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard create ‘low intervention’ wines, each expressing its site's nuanced character. Their wines are defined by a touch of reduction, creating a lovely ‘struck match’ character alongside intense crystalline fruit that unfurls on the palate. Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard utilises whole-bunch pressing in their winemaking and ferment in oak, a maximum of 30% of which is new, with a very light toast. Their wines then age for about 18 months in oak before bottling and display a lovely purity of fruit due to the low toast of the oak. These expressive wines reward patience and blossom with extended ageing in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard","offers":[{"title":"x1","offer_id":56936066711936,"sku":"WGBDRINJEANNOELHAUTCLOS","price":37.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1511\/7584\/files\/DomaineJean-NoelGagnard_BourgogneHautesCotesdeBeaune_ClosBortier_75clWGBDRINJEANNOELHAUTCLOS.jpg?v=1764076822","url":"https:\/\/www.twelvegreenbottleswine.co.uk\/products\/domaine-jean-noel-gagnard-bourgogne-hautes-cotes-de-beaune-clos-bortier-75cl","provider":"Twelve Green Bottles Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
