Tasting notes
Rich and round initial impression but with attractive zip and freshness on the end. Already drinking well but with lots of density. (JR)

A beautiful white Burgundy that won\'t break the bank! Deep and complex nose, with a wide range of citrus and yellow stone fruit. plus a delicate vanilla touch. Excellent structure and concentration. Quite generous body, but this is so focused that it feels much lighter than it really is, and the vitality at the finish greatly increases this impression. The delicate vanilla oak is so beautifully integrated into the picture. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc (Domaine Gagey) is another success this year, bursting with aromas of fresh pear, green apple, crushed mint, buttery pastry and almonds. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's lively and precise, with chalky structure and a saline finish.
The 2020 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru has a light patisserie touch on the nose, the scent of walking into a French bakery and that subtle whiff of almond croissants! The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, a little more cohesion compared with the Bressandes Blanc and a touch more salinity on the finish. Very fine. Closure: Diam
