Wine Reviews

The 2024 Santenay Clos de Malte Blanc (Domaine Louis Jadot) unwinds in the glass with a gently reductive bouquet of pear, sweet citrus oil and smoke, followed by a medium-bodied, bright and dense palate, concluding with a chalky finish.

Very youthful nose, with a touch of green pineapple, stone fruit and cream. Subtle toast on the palate with good weight and acidity. Very slightly phenolic closure with a direct, flavorful aftertaste. 25% new oak. Drink from 2027.

Attractive toasty and nutty aromas are married to generous candied citrus fruit on the silky, medium- to full-bodied palate. The bright, flinty acidity gives this excellent energy.

Full pear and candied-lemon nose with quite pronounced, yeasty notes from sur-lie maturation and a hint of tarragon. Quite a rich, bold wine for Santenay, but with a cool, slightly herbal side that balances the ripeness very nicely. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
