The estate and the wine |
|
|
A discreet yet remarkable estate in Burgundy, François Gaunoux quietly shines on some of the finest Michelin-starred tables, crafting wines of striking precision. Vinified without oak by Claudine Gaunoux, and untouched by fleeting trends, these wines express the full nuance of their terroirs with exceptional purity and stylistic clarity. Sourced from some of the most coveted plots in Beaune, Meursault, Volnay, and Pommard, they deliver a singular and confident expression of Burgundy.
The estate recently made headlines during a prestigious auction held by a renowned Geneva house, where numerous older vintages attracted strong interest—a testament to both their longevity and rising acclaim among collectors.
And the most discerning palates are paying close attention: Olivier Poussier, Best Sommelier in the World, along with top chefs like Yannick Alléno, Sébastien Labbe at Cheval Blanc, and Guy Savoy, all count these wines among their personal favorites. |

The 2022 Red Pommard Les Tavannes is a textbook expression from the estate. Its delicate, Pinot Noir-driven nose evokes rose petals and black cherry, unfolding in a fresh, gently infused style. The same purity and focus carry through on the palate, with vibrant acidity, a lively structure, and remarkable finesse. This is a true Pommard—unadorned, authentic, and honest—still at the dawn of its life. Best discovered in a few years, or even a decade from now. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
