Beaune Grèves, Les Trois Journaux, 1er Cru, 2017

A stunning Beaune Grèves. Suave and very complex griotte fruit with some underlying minerality. Bright yet satisfying and velvety, great length of flavour. Notes of damson, plum and kirsch linger on the finish. Troix Journaux refers to the old measurement for the amount of land one horse could work in a day, equating to 0.33 ha. This is a spectacular parcel of 0.99 ha in the upper part of Beaune Grèves, the poor soil here gives wines of incredible finesse and delicacy.
