Beaune, Grèves, 1er Cru, 2021

Quite reserved initially though there's clearly some real complexity here. As it flows across the palate there's a sense of nobility as briary flavours join the dark and red fruit. There’s real presence here, the rocky calcaire soils apparent in the fine ground minerals at its core. Bay and wild hedgerow fruits on the finish. Calm, long and assured. An emblematic Tollot Beaut wine, a parcel first bought by Nathalie and Paul Tollot’s great, great grandfather. The current vines were planted in 1968.
