Critical Acclaim
Decanter 93 Points: This is produced with fruit from the Gagey family estate coming from the lower part of the Grèves premier cru. The grapes are lightly crushed prior to a delicate pressing and fermentation in cask one-third new. The result shows exotic tropical fruit aromas with a hint of spice and a texture enlivened by crisp lemony acidity. Round and a bit rich this lingers invitingly on the palate. (Drink between 2021-2025)
Wine Advocate 90-92+ Points: Aromas of sweet berry fruit petals plums and spices preface the 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves, a medium to full-bodied bright and fleshy wine with a pretty core of fruit lively acids and powdery structuring tannins. This has the structure to age and it will merit a bit of patience.
