Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, Jardin du Calvaire, 2024
A highly accomplished, salty, linear and focussed Haut Côtes that offers up a good measure of Sauzet class in high wire, highly refreshing Haut Côtes package. Sparking with stones and fine zesty citrus notes, the vineyard is situated in Cormot-le-Grand, on firm marne soils similar to those found in the Jura. Raised in 600lt foudres and finished for six months in steel tank, just like all the other wines in the range. A lovely new addition to the J&B portfolio.
critic reviews
The 2024 Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc Jardin du Calvert has a more malic bouquet compared to the Bourgogne Blanc, perhaps not quite the same degree of charm at the moment. The palate is built around the acidity: quite fresh and saline, good attack (not unlike the Aligoté) with a tingle of orange sorbet towards the finish. Just needs to cohere during the rest of its élevage.
