RATINGS

91-93The Wine Advocate

...showing well, offering up an inviting bouquet of sweet berry fruit, grilled game and soil tones, followed by a medium to full-bodied palate that's ampler and more concentrated than the Perrières but fresher too, with lively acids and powdery structuring tannins.

91-93Vinous / IWC

This has a pure, joyful bouquet of vibrant red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, very saline in the mouth and showing wonderful control and composure toward the mineral-rich finish.

17Jancis Robinson

They do have some pretty nice vineyards here! Great tension and life with purity and suavity.

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.
