2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Sous Eguisons, Domaine Jean-Noël Gagnard

This fantastic value wine comes from an interesting vineyard, just above St Aubin’s Le Ban, beneath a limestone cliff that provides shelter. The soil is very white because of the chalk content, giving minerality but also reflecting the sun, ripening the grapes more quickly. This is intensely mineral and zesty, but with ripe orange and a slightly viscous texture.
