Review Date: 01/2025The 'classic' Gravières from Jessiaume is astoundingly good in 2023, with pronounced aromas of ripe plum and blackberry, with hints of smoke, earth and spice. The tannins are firm and long, and the substantial extract carries the wine to a lovely, long finish. The domaine has a substantial holding in Gravières of more than 5ha; six different sectors of the vineyard are farmed and vinified separately, and blended before bottling. This wine is impressive, despite a small amount of old-vine fruit being removed for the Numerus Clausus bottling.(CC)

Superbly finessed, this comes from a big (3.8 ha) parcel of 60-year-old vines (part planted in the 1930s, part planted in the 1990s) smack in the center of the appellation. Spring cherries and crunchy strawberries are laced with tugging tannins and popping acidity. There is no shortage of energy or length here!

Made from some older vines and some young, 40 and 8 years old respectively. Clean pale lemon. Stones and ripe lemon skins on the nose. On the palate a little bit of honeysuckle emerges, just enough to be interesting, though evidence that it was important not to hold off any further. A very classy long finish. Drink from 2027-2031. Tasted Oct 2024.

The 2023 Santenay Les Gravières 1er Cru is Jessiaume's main production amongst the reds from their 3.8 hectares. This offers dark berry fruit on the nose, wild hedgerow and forest floor scents. It's a little more introspective than some of their other red cuvées yet still well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and light touches of brown spice infusing the red fruit. This is quite peppery on the finish to the point where you might misconstrue the presence of stems. It is very fine.(NM)
