2019 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc Louis Jadot Domaine Gagey
£51.50
“The enveloping nose of melted butter, caramelized pear and hazelnut pulls you into this rich white Burgundy. Serious concentration and quite some creaminess. But, beneath this extravagance there’s a firm base of acidity, tannins and minerality that carry the long finish.”
95 Points, James Suckling
“Crisp, cutting notes of Asian pear, lemon and yellow plum introduce this full-bodied but fresh-fruited wine. While fleshy on the palate and accented by hints of smoked nut, dill and hazelnut biscotti, it’s a pure-fruited, richly concentrated wine that should drink at peak through 2030.”
94 Points, Anna Lee C. Iijima, Wine Enthusiast

Product Description
Les Grèves is situated in the North between Les Toussaints, Les Bressandes and Les Theurons. In French,Grèves means sandy, small stones, which describes the soil of these vineyards. It is the largest Beaune Premier Cru vineyard.
The Clos Blanc parcel was converted from Pinot Noir to Chardonnay by Andre Gagey in the early 1980s, in recognition that the base of the slope contained more clay than stones and was therefore an ideal site for white wine production. This subsoil and ideal slope & exposure combine to produce a consistently opulent and expressive white wine with subtle acidity, candied citrus notes, and an expansive mouthfeel. While this wine is always showy upon release it will also age to good effect over the course of a decade.
