RATINGS

90James Suckling

Some brambly and briary Beaune fruit aromas and flavors here with quite a punchy array of red fruit on the palate. Gently grainy tannins.

17Jancis Robinson

Bright cherry red. Slightly cheesy nose. Definite grip and precision. A good start for this négociant! Pure finish. Quite long. There is definitely tannin but this wine is very sappy.

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.
