Note di degustazione
The 2020 Beaune 1er Cru Aux Cras (Domaine Gagey) is also very promising, unwinding in the glass with notions of raspberries, orange rind, clove and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with a bright spine of tangy acidity, it's beautifully balanced. On paper, this is a site that should suffer in dry vintages, but Jadot's old-vine holdings (formerly belonging to the Château de Chorey) have turned out a fine performance all the same.

The 2020 Beaune Cras 1er Cru includes 30% whole bunch as a trial for Jadot whose policy has always been to de-stem. To be honest, if I had this blind, I would not have said there is stems in this blend, which I see as a good thing. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh and I do think those stems lend more freshness on the finish. Excellent.
Cask sample. Bright cherry red. Intensely aromatic dark-red fruit. Lively contrast between sweet fruit and fresh acidity, almost sweet/sour, a touch of vanilla. Lots of energy. Really fresh and moreish, the chalky tannins also seeming to add freshness. So juicy and delicious, good length, marked freshness on the finish. (JH)
