History…
The Domaine Gagnerot was established in 1802. In 1864, Jean-Baptiste’s unique daughter Marie, marries wine trader François CAPITAIN native of Champlitte. Together, Jean-Baptiste and François establish the Domaine Capitain-Gagnerot. After the phylloxera crisis that ravaged the Burgundian vineyard from the 1870s to the 1880s, Marie, then widowed, decides to keep the domaine and replant its vines. The succession has since then been made from father to son. After the Second World War, Roger Capitain inherits the wine trade along with 3 hectares of vineyards. His two sons, Patrice and Michel, took over the domain after his retirement. Today, the domain owns 16 hectares of vineyards and it is Pierre-François and Delphine, Patrice’s children, who now oversee its destiny, with the support of their spouses.
... And traditions !
Our wines are produced in accordance with reasoned culture principles, applying at the same time the principles of integrated farming and as often as the weather conditions allow it, those of biodynamic farming. We work in harmony with the vineyard and its ecosystem by favoring natural treatment products and by limiting our interventions to the minimum in order to obtain a healthy harvest.
Completely hand-harvested, grapes are sorted out and destemmed before being placed in tanks to be vinified.
Wines are exclusively matured in oak barrels during 12 to 18 months. To protect the character of our wine and its terroir, we do not use more than 10% of new wood. We believe that wood is solely a support in making good wine, and a slight touch of is enough to achieve that goal.
Our viticulture and wine-making reflect our will to make genuinely fresh wines which are the expression of our rich terroir and the elegance of the great grape varieties of Burgundy.
