"A fragrance reminiscent of bread crust. On the palate, it imposes the telluric force of its terroir with serenity. Its fruit remains precise despite a present but well-integrated ageing in wood." ( Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2019 - RVF)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 18/20 (Reference wine)
Domaine rated (2022 guide) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the wine:
Ample and intense, a great wine.
About the domain :
The Gagey family's involvement with this historic Burgundy landmark came with the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained steward until 1991, when he handed over the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, who now heads the 225-hectare vineyard. Since 2011, Frédéric Barnier, who took over from Jacques Lardière, has been in charge of vinification, further improving the consistency and homogeneity of all batches. White wines are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they are aged on lees with periodic stirring of the lees for 12 to 20 months. The red wines are vinified de-stemmed, unpressed, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a 25 to 27-day cuvaison before maturing for 12 to 22 months in barrels, a third of which are new. The 2017s were born harmonious and balanced, with the reds more complete in Côte de Nuits and the whites on average even more attractive than the reds.

About the wine:
A fragrance reminiscent of bread crust. On the palate, it imposes the telluric force of its terroir with serenity. Its fruit remains precise, despite a present but well-integrated wood ageing process.
About the domain :
This prestigious trading house is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is deeply involved in Burgundy. The house boasts an extensive range of wines and a fine collection of terroirs, including the main Burgundy appellations. Frédéric Barnier, in charge of vinification since 2012, is gradually imposing his mark by purifying the wines. Consistency is one of the house's strong points. While the whites are well-balanced, the reds are strict and severe, with wood overpowering the fruit and even hints of acetate, which, this year, disturbed the reading of certain cuvées. Let's hope this is temporary, as the star is under threat.
