Inside Burgundy - Jasper Morris
"One of Santenay's finest wines, offering a rich array of intense aromas!"
"The Gravières Premier Cru red is the flagship wine of this estate. It is widely regarded as the finest vineyard in Santenay, and Jessiaume owns more than 5 hectares of it, most of which are located here. This generous wine is slightly reserved on the palate at first, but it opens up over time to reveal deep aromas of blackberry and plum, with notes of exotic black tea and spices. The texture is dense and firm, with silky yet firm tannins and an impressive finish.” (Decanter 2023)
