Domaine Louis Jadot Clos de Malte Santenay 2021

The Clos de Malte is a 6.8-hectare clos within the lieu-dit Sous La Fée in the little hamlet of Saint-Jean in the hills above the town of Santenay. The 2021 vintage displays straightforward ripe apple fruit aromas with a floral edge. The texture is supple and balanced, if not particularly long on the palate, although there are attractive notes of cream and coconut on the finish. This estate was developed by the Gagey family generations ago and is now property of Jadot. Drinking window: 2023-2030. Score – 90. (Charles Curtis, MW, decanter.com, Oct. 31, 2022)
