justerini & brooks tasting note

Very pale in colour and a touch more reserved than the Pommards, the quality is clear on the palate, with a sense of tension and a spine of fine minerals that comes from the limestone soils of Greves. A lifted, pale yet taut expression of this great vineyard; a Greves of translucency and tension. This is excellent. Well exposed and well drained, an early ripening plot that sits above L'Enfant Jesus. A mid-slope, South-East facing parcel planted on sandy clay and limestone soils spread over one hectare, one part planted in the 1960s, the remainder in the 1980s.

critic reviews

91-93/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2022 Beaune Grèves 1er Cru is a step up on complexity from the Montreveneaux, with crushed rocks infusing the red plum and cranberry aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a sapid entry. A solid backbone here lends it a Pommard-like finish. Impressive persistence; this should age well in bottle.
