hez Baghera/wines, nous aimons raconter des histoires. Raconter, c’est transmettre un savoir, partager une anecdote, révéler un héritage. À l’origine des plus grands vins se trouve ce même désir de partage : un savoir-faire ancestral enrichi par de nouvelles connaissances, permettant une amélioration constante et offrant des dégustations inoubliables.

La Bourgogne viticole est un terroir d’histoire et de passion. Son prestige remonte à l’époque gallo-romaine, dès le IVe siècle. Mais ce sont les moines, puis les Ducs de Bourgogne, qui ont façonné et sublimé cette région viticole, en structurant ses terroirs et en définissant les Climats, aujourd’hui protégés par le système des Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) et inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO depuis 2015.

Avec ses 32 000 hectares de vignes, soit 4,3 % du vignoble français, la Bourgogne est une terre d’exception, mondialement reconnue pour ses appellations prestigieuses. Parmi ses cinq sous-régions, chacune dotée de caractéristiques climatiques et géologiques uniques, la Côte de Beaune se distingue particulièrement.

S’étendant sur 20 kilomètres, de Ladoix-Serrigny aux Maranges, la Côte de Beaune couvre quelque 5 000 hectares de vignes. Si elle est le berceau des plus grands vins blancs du monde, elle abrite également des villages

t Baghera/wines, we love telling stories.

To tell a story is to pass on knowledge, share an anecdote, and reveal a legacy. At the heart of the greatest wines lies this very desire for sharing: an ancestral expertise enriched by new knowledge, allowing for continuous improvement and offering unforgettable tastings.

The Burgundy wine region is a land of history and passion. Its prestige dates back to Gallo-Roman times, as early as the 4th century. However, it was the monks, followed by the Dukes of Burgundy, who shaped and enhanced this wine region, structuring its terroirs and defining the Climats, now protected by the Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2015.

With its 32,000 hectares of vineyards, representing 4.3% of the French wine-growing area, Burgundy is an exceptional land, globally recognized for its prestigious appellations. Among its five sub-regions, each with unique climatic and geological characteristics, the Côte de Beaune stands out particularly.

Stretching over 20 kilometers from Ladoix-Serrigny to Maranges, the Côte de Beaune covers approximately 5,000 hectares of vineyards. While it is home to the world’s greatest white wines, it also boasts villages producing red wines with distinctive

produisant des vins rouges d’une grande personnalité.

Les vingt communes qui la composent accueillent une diversité de domaines viticoles, où les exploitations familiales jouent un rôle central. Héritiers d’un savoir-faire transmis de génération en génération, ces vignerons œuvrent à la préservation des Climats et au rayonnement des vins de Bourgogne, tant localement qu’à l’international.

Installée en Côte-d’Or depuis le XVI e siècle, la famille Gaunoux incarne cette tradition d’excellence. Ce profond enracinement a donné naissance au Domaine François Gaunoux, dont l’histoire s’écrit au fil des millésimes. Le titre de cette vente illustre parfaitement l’âme de Claudine Gaunoux et de ses ancêtres : une symbiose entre l’attachement aux Climats de Bourgogne et la transmission des valeurs familiales.

Ma rencontre avec le Domaine Gaunoux s’est faite progressivement, d’abord à travers des dégustations isolées, puis au cœur même de la propriété, auprès de Claudine, de son mari et de leurs enfants. Ensemble, nous avons conçu cette vente comme une résonance de leur histoire.

Travailleuse rigoureuse et passionnée, Claudine a hérité de son père, François, une méthode de travail ancrée dans la tradition, tout en intégrant des innovations techniques et du matériel toujours plus performant pour sublimer chaque millésime. Elle insiste toujours sur le fait qu’elle a tout appris de son père, François

personalities. The twenty communes that compose it host a variety of wine estates, where family-run operations play a central role. Heirs to a savoir-faire passed down through generations, these winemakers strive to preserve the Climats and promote Burgundy wines both locally and internationally.

Established in Côte-d’Or since the 16th century, the Gaunoux family embodies this tradition of excellence. This deep-rooted heritage gave birth to Domaine François Gaunoux, whose history is written with each vintage. The title of this auction perfectly reflects the essence of Claudine Gaunoux and her ancestors: a symbiosis between the attachment to the Climats of Burgundy and the transmission of family values.

My encounter with Domaine Gaunoux happened gradually, first through individual tastings, then at the heart of the estate itself, alongside Claudine, her husband, and their children. Together, we conceived this auction as an echo of their story.

A diligent and passionate worker, Claudine inherited from her father, François, a work ethic deeply rooted in tradition, while incorporating technical innovations and ever more advanced equipment to enhance each vintage. She always insists that she learned everything from her father, François Gaunoux, and is very grateful for his advice and trust. Today, at the helm of twelve hectares in the Côte de Beaune, fully owned with prestigious premier crus and two monopoles,

Gaunoux, et lui est très reconnaissante pour ses conseils et sa confiance. Aujourd’hui à la tête de douze hectares en Côte de Beaune, exclusivement en propriété sur de prestigieux premiers crus et deux monopoles, elle est désormais épaulée par son fils Louis, fraîchement diplômé. Jour après jour, elle lui transmet avec exigence et bienveillance les valeurs qui l’animent : le respect du terroir, l’engagement indéfectible et la force du lien familial.

Dans la cave du domaine, quelques milliers de bouteilles reposent, témoins du temps qui façonne les vins et sublime chaque millésime. Ce véritable trésor familial incarne le travail minutieux de quatre générations, depuis Alexandre Gaunoux, arrière-grand-père de Claudine, jusqu’aux millésimes qu’elle élabore depuis 1999. Chaque bouteille est un reflet du terroir et de l’engagement indéfectible des vignerons qui se sont succédé, unissant respect du sol et innovation au service de la vigne et du vin.

Ces témoins du passé et du présent auront l’occasion de s’exprimer pleinement lors de cette vente aux enchères inédite qui se tiendra à Meursault, le 16 mars prochain.

Chers clients, chers passionnés, nous vous invitons à découvrir l’histoire du Domaine Gaunoux, où chaque bouteille vibre d’une passion intacte et où le vin demeure, avant tout, une célébration du partage.

Santé, Camille Balboux

she is now joined by her son Louis, who has recently completed his studies. Day after day, with dedication and care, she instills in him the values that drive her: respect for the terroir, unwavering commitment, and the strength of family heritage.

In the estate’s cellar, several thousand bottles rest, witnesses to the time that shapes wines and elevates each vintage. This true family treasure embodies the meticulous work of four generations, from Claudine’s great-grandfather, Alexandre Gaunoux, to the vintages she has crafted since 1999. Each bottle reflects the terroir and the steadfast commitment of the winemakers who have succeeded one another, uniting respect for the land with innovation in service of the vine and wine.

These witnesses of the past and present will have the opportunity to express themselves fully at this unprecedented auction to be held in Meursault on March 16th.

Dear clients, dear enthusiasts, we invite you to discover the history of Domaine Gaunoux, where every bottle resonates with an unbroken passion and where wine remains, above all, a celebration of sharing.

Cheers, Camille Balboux

Si Dieu existe, qu’aimeriez-vous après votre mort l’entendre vous dire ?

Je sais pas… « T’as bien bossé. T’as bien bossé et on va boire un verre de Meursault ! »

Et vous boiriez quoi avec Dieu ?

Un Clos des Meix Chavaux !

Quel millésime ?

2013, mon premier millésime, où j’ai tellement travaillé.

Claudine Gaunoux, lors d’un entretien réalisé au Domaine le 6 février 2025

If God exists, what would you like to hear him say to you after your death?

I don’t know… “You did a good job. You worked well and we’re going to have a glass of Meursault !”

And what would you drink with God?

A Clos des Meix Chavaux!

What vintage?

2013, my first vintage, for which I worked so hard.

Claudine Gaunoux, interview conducted at the Domaine on February 6, 2025
