Beaune, Les Grèves, 1er Cru, 2024
A new addition to the range resulting from the deal that saw Etienne sell Chateau de Puligny to Artemis Domaines. A mid-weight, saline and energetic Beaune with plenty of high vineyard nerve and deftness, that smells of lemon scented stones and herb and offers up a cleansing palate profile, with ripe yet vital 2024 acidity. A high, terraced vineyard that sits above Greves and Teurons on a mixture of limestone and clay.
critic reviews
The 2024 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru, 50% whole bunch, has just a touch of reduction on the nose but it opens with cranberry and wild strawberry fruit, a touch of gravel. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, a fine symmetry here, the stems better integrated than the Les Sizies with a dash of white pepper on the finish. This should age nicely in bottle.
