RATINGS

90The Wine Advocate

...perfumed nose with hints of heather and lavender in infusing the mixture of red and black fruit. The palate is well-balanced with a lovely spicy entry. There is a gentle grip and a vibrant, peppery finish that leaves the mouth tingling afterwards, almost like a pleasant Rhone.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Fine boned and quite dry and solid... Dry finish...tender fruit. Appetising.

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.
