Gachot-Monot Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune (750ml)

Five successive generations have been at the head of this family run estate created around 1890.  Situated in Corgoloin on the border of Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune, the estate is today managed by Damien and Liselotte Gachot.

The recent history of the domain is highlighted by two women who contributed to the domaine’s longevity :  Marguerite Monot who ran the vineyard alone from 1950 to 1980 and her only daughter, Marie Therese, who, with the help of her husband Jean Pierre Gachot renovated, replanted and gave their name to the Domaine. After completing his wine studies and with 10 months experience in California, Damien Gachot joined his mother in the domain in 1993 working and shaping the domain to its current form.  The wines of Gachot-Monot represent excellent value in Burgundian wines. This fifth-generation vigneron farms twelve hectares in the village of Corgoloin, in between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune.  They first came to Kermit’s attention via the master of La Tâche himself, Aubert de Villaine and another great Burgundian producer, Bertrand Chevillon. Damien was first saluted by the Hospices de Beaune as a young talent to be watched. Kermit Lynch has been importing his wines since the 2000 vintage.
