RATINGS

92-94The Wine Advocate

...very expressive, quite floral bouquet...feminine and seductive...palate is very well balanced, extremely pure with sappy red berry fruit that exert a gentle grip in the mouth, while there is excellent weight on the effortless finish... Utterly divine.

89-92Burghound.com

...admirably pure and relatively elegant with its broad-ranging nose of earth, plum and violets. There is more size and weight to the medium-bodied flavors that possess a bit less evident minerality before culminating in a dusty, complex and balanced finish.

88-91Vinous / IWC

Blackberry and blueberry on the nose...offering good sweetness and cut to its dark berry flavors. Finishes fresh and firmly tannic, with lovely lingering perfume.

17.5Jancis Robinson

Firm and dense on the nose. Very splendid and gorgeous. Spreads right across palate in a minerally way. Very subtle and with the acidity not too pronounced.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Beaune, Les Greves

Les Greves is a 75-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the central part of the Beaune appellation, in Burgundy's Cote de Beaune. Though Beaune has no Grand Cru vineyards, it has 44 vineyards that are either partly or completely Premier Cru. Clive Coates has written that in the central section of the Beaune appellation is “where you will find the finest examples of premier cru in Beaune.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
