2021 Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Greves

94 Points John Caro
In stock
From a great vintage in one of the best-regarded vineyards in Beaune, the Greves from Jadot is a superb red Burgundy. Greves means sand or fine gravel, these free-draining and limey soils generating the depth and roundness of this impressive but approachable Pinot Noir. South-easterly sun but cool nights bring almost candied ripeness to delicate dark and red fruit, along with freshness and herbal, mineral tension. Charm and value from a great site for the price.
$130.00 in mixed 6+ or $145.00 per bottle

Its Origins

In Burgundy’s Côte d’Or, where the integrity of the producer is often more important than a renowned appellation or vineyard, Maison Louis Jadot is one of the most venerable, most trusted and revered wine houses. Jadot’s winemaking team, now led by Technical Director Frédéric Barnier, has maintained a balance of tradition and technology in winemaking that allows Jadot’s wines to express the subtle differences between terroirs that are the essence of fine Burgundy. Though officially retired in 2013, esteemed winemaker Jacques Lardière continues to work in an advisory role and on special projects. Founded in 1859, the house has grown through a long-term policy of acquisition or management of exceptional vineyard lands and owns 528 acres of vineyards, including nearly 280 acres of the Cote d’Or’s most prestigious Premier and Grand Cru plots.

What The Critics Say

92-94/100 Parker's Wine Advocate, William Kelley (2020 vintage)

"The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves (Domaine Gagey) is especially successful this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, orange rind, peonies and rich spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and serious, with ripe tannins and lively acids. While it's appropriately youthfully structured, it doesn't display any of the austerity one sometimes finds in this particular bottling."
