Tasting notes
Revisited a year later, the 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) is showing well, exhibiting aromas of citrus zest, orchard fruit, fresh bread and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive, it's quite youthfully tightly wound, with tangy acids and chalky grip that frame a pretty core of fruit. I suspect it will show even better with five or six years in bottle, even if it will be approachable sooner.

From 1.5 hectares split over two parcels, one on the plateau and one mid-slope, the 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes 1er Cru has a very expressive bouquet of apple blossom, sliced pears and subtle rosewater aromas that seem very seductive. The fresh palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity. Orange pith and pink grapefruit notes emerge toward the lively finish. This is an excellent Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc.
