The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) reveals aromas of waxy lemon, pear and vanilla pod, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate that's bright and seamless. This is promising.

The 2019 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) mingles notes of pear and peach with hints of white flowers and almond paste in an inviting bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy, it's round and enveloping, with a generous, charming profile this year.

Revisited a year later, the 2018 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes Blanc (Domaine Gagey) is showing well, exhibiting aromas of citrus zest, orchard fruit, fresh bread and hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, layered and incisive, it's quite youthfully tightly wound, with tangy acids and chalky grip that frame a pretty core of fruit. I suspect it will show even better with five or six years in bottle, even if it will be approachable sooner.

Aromas of buttered lemons, honeycomb and anise introduce the 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Guettes (Domaine Gagey), a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and expressive wine that's succulent but open-knit, concluding with good length on the finish. This will make friends in its youth.
