RATINGS

89-91The Wine Advocate

...a harmonious bouquet with dark cherries, raspberry coulis and plenty of minerals – very well defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, crisp acidity and crunchy red fruit leading to a tannic but vibrant finish. Very fine.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Very rich and flattering. Full of life and already chock a block with fruit. Then nice zesty tannins on the finish. Very open. And long.

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.
