The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Le Clos Blanc (Domaine Gagey) is performing very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, hazelnuts, clear honey, buttered toast and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, it's gourmand but precise, with bright acids and a long, saline finish. Best after 2021.

Crisp, cutting notes of Asian pear, lemon and yellow plum introduce this full-bodied but fresh-fruited wine. While fleshy on the palate and accented by hints of smoked nut, dill and hazelnut biscotti, it's a pure-fruited, richly concentrated wine that should drink at peak through 2030.
