Description

Les Gravières is a Premier Cru vineyard in Santenay, in the Côte de Beaune (Burgundy, France). The “Blanc” version is 100% Chardonnay, made by Domaine Jessiaume. The wine is from vines of substantial age (around 40 years), planted in soils rich in oolithic limestone and marl, with southeast exposure. Viticulture is organic or in transition to organic certification; winemaking is with gentle handling, whole-cluster (or whole grapes) press, natural yeast fermentation, part ageing (12 months) on fine lees in oak barrels (some portion new oak, around 30%), followed by additional months in tanks.

Tasting Notes

COLOR:
Mid to pale lemon yellow, with sometimes a slight green tint. Bright, clear, expressive of its youth but with a maturity hint.

NOSE:
Notes of ripe citrus (lemon, grapefruit), green apple, sometimes lightly candied or confit citrus peel. There’s also characteristic minerality – “chalky” or “cray” (“chalky / crayeux”) texture. Subtle floral edge. Slight oak influence: vanilla or nutty, maybe almond, possibly a hint of toasted wood. A slight reductive / flinty tension in some bottles.

TASTE:
Medium-bodied. Fresh acidity helps lift the fruit; citrus, apple, and nuances of stone fruit. The oak and lees ageing give some richness - texture is creamy but balanced. Minerality drives finish, brings freshness and contours. The finish is long, polished, with mineral and nutty undertones.

FINISH:
Smooth and elegant, with fine, well-integrated oak. The lees ageing provides weight without heaviness. The wine has a clean, persistent finish that shows both ripeness and restraint.

Food Pairing

This wine’s fresh acidity, minerality, and medium body make it quite versatile. Some good pairings:

Seafood: oysters, scallops, lobster, or other shellfish; fish with butter or lemon sauces.

Poultry: roasted or grilled chicken or turkey, ideally with herbs, light cream or butter sauces.

White meats / Pork: pork tenderloin, veal, especially when accompanied by subtle sauces or fruit-glazes.

Vegetables / Vegetarian: dishes with mushrooms, creamy vegetable gratins, asparagus, or fresh salads with nutty dressings.

Cheese: goat cheese or mild soft-ripened cheeses; also aged cheese with not too strong a flavour.
