The 2022 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru follows up its impressive showing last year. There’s wonderful purity on the nose with yellow plum, meringue and wisps of candy floss, yet underneath, you can feel the terroir expression that willcome through with time. The palate is very well-balanced with a fine silver bead of acidity. One of the most tensile and energetic of Jadot’s whites, with Conference pear and gooseberry popping up on the finish. This will be fascinating to watch age in bottle.
The 2021 Beaune Grèves le Clos Blanc 1er Cru is upfront and bold on the nose with yellow fruit, ginger and lemongrass. This is quite…brazen! The palate is well-balanced, taut and fresh, with a fine bead of acidity. There’s plenty of substance here, and it’s fairly spicy and lively towards the finish. This is excellent and well worth hunting down.
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.
This has aromas of lemons, apricots stones, cream and acacia flowers. Very clear cut and balanced, with plenty of creamy texture. Mineral, fresh finish.
