Tasting notes
So much white-peach, pear and some floral notes, complemented by just a hint of oak. At once generous, but rather sleek, this is very polished for this appellation, with a mineral finish thatâs very refreshing. Drink or hold.

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) mingles notes of pear and peach with hints of white flowers and almond paste in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, it's round and enveloping, with a generous, charming profile this year.
The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes Blanc 1er Cru has a more delineated and mineral-driven bouquet compared with the Haut Jarrons this year. The palate is very well balanced with a peachy opening, a fine bead of acidity and a touch of lemongrass spicing things up toward the finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
