Ragot Givry 1er Cru “Clos Jus” 2024
$52
Nicolas Ragot is one of the leading producers in Givry. He makes ample use of amphoras, which give his wines an appealing patina and exquisite freshness. William Kelley calls his reds “supple and flavorful,” Jancis Robinson writes of their “purity” and “classiness,” and Neal Martin of Vinous finds them “caressing,” “fleshy,” and “excellent.”
Ragot’s Givry 1er “Clos Jus” is from the best known vineyard in Givry. This is huge, powerful wine with excellent density and a dense, juicy core. Nicolas raises this 10% in amphora, which adds a sheen of patina over the explosive dark fruit. The bold wine already handles its wood well, but in another year or two when the tannins have settled and the wood has fully integrated, this will be a dead ringer for a village Gevrey-Chambertin.
