    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine de Montille, Beaune, Grèves, 1er Cru, 2017

    Good depth and concentration. Structured and powerful but the tannins are velvety. There is a little bit of sap and undergrowth notes to the bramble and dark cherry fruit that gives a vibrant, digest feel to the wine. Gripping, wholesome and complex. 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.

    ABV:
    13%
    87-89/100

    The 2022 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru has more delineation and focus than the Les Sizies, with vivid red berry fruit mixed with light loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. This cuvée is quite candied in style with blood orange towards the grainy-textured finish. Fine, it’s just a little abrupt at the moment.
