    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    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.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2021 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru, which includes 50% whole bunches, was taken from barrel. It has an attractive nose with brambly red fruit, tertiary notes and touches of cigar humidor. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly dry tannins and moderate depth, but I feel there is a tad too much whole bunches on the finish here, and it is obfuscating the terroir expression.
