Wine Enthusiast
“The clarity of the color is very appealing in this wine, which displays notes of plum, citrus, and orange peel. It has a full body that envelops you with a stony, tannic character. It needs time to soften a bit. Excellent aging potential.” (James Suckling 2017). A great wine. Delivered in a wooden case for any order of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding Pickup Point delivery method)

Rated estate (2025 guide) 4*Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The Gagey family’s involvement with this true gem of Burgundy’s historical heritage began upon the death of Louis-Auguste Jadot. With no heir, the estate was entrusted in 1962 to André Gagey, who remained its manager until 1991, when he handed the reins to his son Pierre-Henry, who now oversees the 225 hectares of vineyards. Since 2011, winemaking has been overseen by Frédéric Barnier, who has seamlessly succeeded Jacques Lardière, further improving the consistency and uniformity of all vintages. The whites are pneumatically pressed and fermented directly in barrels, where they undergo aging on the lees with periodic stirring for 12 to 20 months. The red wines are vinified with the stems removed but without crushing, without cold pre-fermentation, and undergo a vatting period of 25 to 27 days before beginning their aging for 12 to 22 months in barrels, one-third of which are new.

Rated estate (2022 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This prestigious wine merchant is run with great efficiency by Pierre-Henry Gagey, who is deeply involved in Burgundy. The company boasts an exceptionally extensive range and a superb collection of terroirs, encompassing the major Burgundian appellations. Frédéric Barnier, who has been in charge of winemaking since 2012, is gradually making his mark by refining the wines. Consistency is one of this house’s strengths. While the whites display beautiful balance, the reds are austere and severe, with oak notes that dominate the fruit and even hints of acetate that, this year, make it difficult to assess certain vintages. Let’s hope this is temporary, as the company’s reputation is at stake.

Wine rated (2017 guide) 96/100
About the wine:
This wine, made from grapes grown on the Corton hillside, is dense and dark, with great power and concentration. Its rich black fruit is paired with intense, juicy acidity, ensuring optimal, slow development over many years. Best enjoyed starting in 2025.

Rated: Recommended
About the wine:
The wine’s bright color is very appealing, with notes of plum, citrus, and orange peel. It has a full body that envelops you with a stony, tannic character. It needs time to mellow a bit. Excellent aging potential. Try it again in 2021.
