The wine

The Savigny-les-Beaune Les Planchots offers brilliant value with a fresh nose, of citrus and faint herbs. Lovely intensity on the palate, with a round texture and a lively acidity lifting the finish.

Savigny's vineyards form a V shape either side of the Rhoin valley, and the aspect changes markedly from one arm to the other, which is why the commune covers so much ground stylistically. Caroline Lestime buys fruit rather than owning all the land, but manages the parcels herself and makes every wine personally, giving them the same stamp of individuality as those of Domaine Jean-Noel Gagnard. The Chardonnay was whole-bunch pressed, fermented in lightly toasted French oak and aged eighteen months, a quarter of the barrels new.

View all Maison Caroline Lestimé wines

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.
