Domaine Gagnepain Chablis 2023《ZF1057》

Domaine Gagnepain (full name Domaine de la Cote de Fasse) is a family-owned winery in the Chablis region of Burgundy, France, located near the village of Beine. It is renowned for producing pure, mineral-rich Chardonnay white wines. Founded in 1991 by Françoise Gagnepain and his children Laurent and Isabelle, the winery started with just a few hectares of vineyards and gradually expanded to approximately 14.5 hectares, primarily encompassing Petit Chablis and Chablis vineyards. In 2016, with the addition of the third generation, Paul Gagnepain, the winery further expanded, launching its first Chablis Premier Cru wine in 2017. The winery employs "viticulture raisonnée" (rational agriculture) methods, emphasizing soil cultivation, herb mulching, and precise pesticide application, all in respect for the environment and terroir.

The Chablis AOC, located at the northernmost tip of Burgundy, France, is renowned for its exceptionally cool climate and ancient maritime soils.

The winery's vineyards are primarily situated in climats such as Côte de Fasse, Adroit de Talvat, and Vau Poilet sur Troene, with typical Kimmeridgian clay limestone soils composed of ancient marine life and oyster fossils deposited during the Jurassic period. It is this unique fossilized limestone that imparts to this white wine classic flint, wet stone, and subtle saline minerality.
