The Story
Opulent notes of candied pear, wet straw, damp earth and ground coffee surround the soft and subtle mouthfeel.
Le Clos Blanc pairs nicely with full seafood (tuna, salmon, scallops) or with chicken either roasted or in cream sauce.
93 Points - James Suckling
A suave, rich white that feels broad on the palate and is saturated with poached pear, almond, butter and vanilla bean nuances without overdoing it. Good acidity keeps a fresh texture, while the full body fills out the middle and finish nicely. Drink or hold.
93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc (Domaine Gagey) is one of the highlights of this year's range. Unfurling in the glass with notes of pear, confit citrus, toasted nuts and white flowers, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, its elegantly textural attack segueing into a taut, racy palate, concluding with a saline finish.
91 Points -Wine Spectator
Rich and bordering on creamy, this white expresses subtle flavors of peach, apple pie, vanilla and butterscotch, with an underlying mineral vein. A balanced and vibrant version that lingers on the spice-infused aftertaste. Drink now through 2030
