94 / 100"This wine comes from perhaps the most well-known of the many Beaune Premier Crus, from a small parcel of vines that are over 100 years old. It is a rich wine, generous and with a ripe future. At present, the structure and tannins dominate, allowing the wine to have good aging potential. Drink from 2020."

Tasting Notes
The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Les Grèves has a pleasantly strict nose, a little tight at the moment with brambly red berry fruit, briary and sage. You have the feeling that this is holding something back for those with patience. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, quite saline in the mouth with the fruit becoming darker, maybe broodier towards the finish. This is a complex, mercurial Beaune Grèves that deserves a couple of years in bottle. Very fine.
