2019 DOMAINE JESSIAUME SANTENAY 1ER CRU LES GRAVIERES BLANC "The 2019 Jessiaume Santenay 1er Cru Les Gravières Blanc is built upon layers of complex aromas beginning with acacia, honeysuckle, baked apples with cinnamon, quince, toast, and wet stones. The wine has a creamy mouthfeel that coats the palate in decadent fruit, shortbread cookies, and crème brûlée with a long and luscious finish. This wine can be aged for up to seven or eight years but is also enjoyable at the present moment." 91 Points “Notes of pear, peach, apple blossom and clear honey introduce the 2019 Santenay 1er Cru Les Gravières Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy wine with fine underlying acidity and chalky grip. This is a fine effort.” 90 Points “This domaine is the largest landowner in Gravières, with 0.77ha planted to Chardonnay, exposed to the south and east. The fruit is pressed as whole clusters and then settled in tank before fermentation on native yeasts in cask (15% new), giving a lovely, ripe apple fruit character. The palate is a bit soft but pretty and pleasant for current drinking.” 90 Points
