For years, the firm of Jean-Noël Gagnard- now headed by his daughter, Caroline Lestime- has produced some of our favorite red and white Chassagne wines. And at the head of our favorites list is Caroline's villages-level cuvée of Pinot Noir, the "L'Estimée". Far from being the coarse, rustic, chunky red Chassagne many have come to expect, this is a brilliant, high-toned, red-fruited gem that we annually rate as one of our best five values in Burgundy!
