Beaune, Grèves, 1er Cru, 2022
One of the great Beaune vineyards, this has cooler dark fruit, with notes of cinnamon and orange peel, great persistence and length. There’s complexity here, as the polished earthy notes rub shoulders with cool berry fruit and rocky minerals. Long and tonic; a serious wine from a magnificent terroir. An emblematic Tollot Beaut wine, a parcel first bought by Nathalie and Paul Tollot’s great, great grandfather. The current vines were planted in 1968.
critic reviews
The 2022 Beaune Les Grèves 1er Cru has a little more delineation and Pinoté on the nose than the Clos de Roi. There is a slight earthiness at play here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and good tension. More mineralité is at play with a vivid, quite structured finish. This is a superb Grèves from Nathalie Tollot and her team.
