    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Château de Meursault, Beaune Grèves, Les Trois Journaux, 1er Cru, 2016

    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.

    ABV:
    13.5%
    89-91/100

    The 2021 Beaune Grèves Les Trois Journaux has a perfumed and quite floral nose and wilted rose petals infusing the red berry fruit, with traces of Earl Grey. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, not amazingly complex but there is decent matière with a rounded, smooth finish that is very appealing. Maybe not long-term, but it will still give a decade of drinking pleasure.
