Beaune Grèves, Les Trois Journaux, 1er Cru, 2016

justerini & brooks tasting note

Exquisite Beaune, top class. Floral cherry blossom fruit precede a full but silky palate bursting with morello, damson and griotte fruit. Fresh but ample, sensual and enticing. Long suave flavours. Top notch. Troix journaux refers to the old measurement for the amount of land one horse could work in a day, equating to 0.33ha. This is a spectacular parcel of 0.99 hectares in the upper part of Beaune-Grèves, the poor soil here gives wines of incredible finesse and delicacy.

86/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2016 Beaune Grèves Les Trois Journaux 1er Cru is all over the place on the nose - very muddled and fatigued. Some oxidation here? The palate is marked by dry tannins, raw with a volatile finish. I hope this bottle is not representative. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting in Burgundy.
