Bright lemony fruit, hints of acacia flower and chamomile. The texture has a waxy and rich texture, but there is plenty of freshness to balance this weight. A very nice success. Domaine Gagey has 1.1ha in Beaun Grèves that made lovely wine in 2020. The grapes were very lightly crushed and pressed prior to fermentation in cask (25% new) and ageing on the lees.

(91-93 points) 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. - WK

(90-92 points) 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.
