Beaune Grèves is an entirely different animal from Sizies, with more dimension and an electric style of minerality running through it. The iron rich soils have lent the wine a certain density, with a flavours of wild hedgerow berries, ferrous earth notes and hints of the forest that bring an autumnal feel. A real success. Aged in 25% new oak and fermented with 30% whole bunches. From 65-year-old vines planted on soils with more clay than the Domaine's Beaune Sizies giving a denser wine. Fermented with a third whole bunches and aged in 20% new oak.
Etienne is one of Burgundy's great purists, his long-lived wines may need time but they are some of the most honest and terroir-driven wines in Burgundy. The wines are fermented using all or partial whole bunch vinification depending on the vintage, élévage is long and slow in their cold cellars and percentages of new oak are low, rarely more than 50% even for Malconsorts. From some of the most vivid, intense Beaune's there are to perfumed, stylish Volnays and silky Vosnes Romanee, Etienne makes a borad range of some of Burgundy's most polished wines. The Domaine's policy on white wines is to pick as early as possible, as soon as the fruit has just approached ripeness, resulting in tense, fine wines with alcohols rarely more than 13%
