Wine Description
Domaine Gagnard-Delagrange was created in 1959 with the marriage of Jacques Gagnard to Marie-Josèphe Delagrange. After the death of Jacques in 2009, Marie-Josèphe runs the domaine with the help of their grandson, Marc-Antonin Blain. Marc-Antonin worked in the cellar alongside Jacques for three years and learned the traditional style that Gagnard-Delagrange is known for.
Most of the vineyards of Gagnard-Delagrange have been handed down to their two daughters. The domaine, however, retains 7.4 acres of premier crus in Chassagne-Montrachet as well as two small parcels that Marie-Josèphe tends herself: Chassagne Village and a small vineyard of Passetoutgrain called Les Farges.
Morgeot was first planted to vines by the Cistercian monks in the Middle Ages. Gagnard-Delagrange’s grapes come from a small hill with shallow soils, just past the Morgeot Abbey. This parcel was a wedding present from Marie-Josèphe Delagrange’s parents when she married Jacques Gagnard. Only six barrels are produced.
