Nicely balanced between acidity and rich body, Les Guettes has aromas and flavors of apples, white flowers and spices, and will develop in the bottle for 8 to 12 years.

James Suckling
A firmly structured wine for this appellation, with the energy and freshness we expect from Savigny-Les-Beaune, Delicate citrus aromas and positive spice. Crisp minerality and acidity driving the long, precise finish. From a south-facing vineyard, but at high altitude.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
Barrel Sample: 91-93 -
Wine Spectator
Sleek, open and expressive, this red reveals black cherry and blackberry fruit framed by accents of earth and spices. Ends with chalky tannins.

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
Savigny-lès-Beaune is a small village near Beaune that produces delightful red and white wines under its own appellation name. Cut by a river, the vineyards on its southern side have sandy soils that result in charming, floral reds. Premiers Crus vineyards on this side include Les Peuillets, Les Narbantons, Les Rouvrettes and Les Marconnets.
On Savigny’s northern side, bordering Pernand-Vergelles, vineyards are planted on rocky soils and produce juicy and spicy Pinot Noir. The village’s best whites, all made of Chardonnay, are full on the palate and abound in texture, complexity and freshness.
