RATINGS

94Wine Enthusiast

This iconic wine is rich and perfumed. It's powerful and concentrated, with layers of wood contrasted by explosive, ripe fruits. Ripe red-fruit flavors are brightened by ample acidity...

92Wine Spectator

...smoke and spicy oak notes, set against a core of cherry fruit. Firms up on the finish, where hints of licorice and spice linger. This remains fresh and balanced, gaining suppleness with air.

91The Wine Advocate

The palate is medium-bodied with crisp and quite succulent tannins, well-judged acidity and a bright, vibrant finish that has a citrus-like intensity. Long in the mouth, this is a well-crafted and quite delicious Pinot that shows off the propitious nature of its terroir.

91Vinous / IWC

Musky aromas of plum, redcurrant, strawberry, dried flowers, underbrush and spicecake... Finishes with dusty tannins and an appealing pomegranate bitterness.

16Jancis Robinson

More spicy and less immediately perfumed... Refined, fairly slight, a little dry and light on the finish.

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.
