Located in Santenay, in the heart of the Côte-d'Or, Burgundy, Domaine Jessiaume has a long winemaking tradition, having been founded in 1850, and purchased by François Le Bigot, current owner in 2020. The company, which has passed to organic certification, brings forward a philosophy of minimal intervention, favoring work by gravity, and the minimal use of sulfites.
The Chardonnay grapes come from one of the historic plots of the Domaine: 0.77 hectares of vineyard with an average age of 40 years located in the Les Gravières cru. Here the soil rich in gravel and limestone of the Combe de Saint-Aubin and the south-east exposure guarantee the production of fresh and fruity wines characterized by a strong mineral vein.
Santenay Premier Cru Les Gravieres Blanc has a light and clear color with lemon-yellow tones. The nose reveals elegant fruity aromas of apple, pear, and yellow plum, followed by hints of pastry and mineral notes. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and has a delicious juiciness. It is fresh, elegant, and round. The finish is long and persistent and recalls evident chalky notes. Try it with trout or veal filet.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
