The wine

Medium golden. An intense nose full of lemon curd and brioche with real depth underneath.

Champ Derrière is a lieu-dit in Chassagne-Montrachet, the commune at the southern end of the Côte de Beaune whose name rests on white. A 2018 released now has had time to develop. Caroline Lestimé buys fruit rather than owning vines, but manages the vineyards herself and makes every picking decision, which is closer to a domaine than most négociant arrangements.

Caroline Lestimé is one of Chassagne-Montrachet's most admired winemakers, long at the helm of the historic Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard. Her house brings her refined, precise touch to a selection of white and red Burgundy from the Côte de Beaune.

Rooted in Chassagne, Lestimé's approach favours purity, balance and restraint. Careful farming and a light hand in the cellar allow the celebrated limestone terroirs of the Côte to express themselves with clarity and tension.

The range gathers characterful whites, from a nutty, mineral Savigny-lès-Beaune to serious Chassagne-Montrachet from the Champ Derrière and Les Chaumes lieux-dits, alongside a charming Hautes Côtes de Beaune red. Each carries her signature elegance.

Detailed, poised and finely judged, the wines of Caroline Lestimé are white Burgundy of real class. They reward the patient with grace and complexity.
