Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88-90)(racked during the harvest and now in cuve Good full red. More perfumed on the nose than the bottled Beaunes, offering black cherry, licorice, spices and minerals. A step up in flavor intensity and energy; in fact, a bit youthfully imploded today. Much more tension here, thanks to the 33% whole cluster component. This has more material to support its tannins. |

Wine Advocate (88-90)The 2014 Beaune 1er Cru Grèves was fully destemmed. It has an earthy, damp woodland-scented bouquet that infiltrates the red berry fruit, perhaps just a little rustic for a Beaune Grèves, but full of character. The palate is medium-bodied with good density and edgy red fruit with earthy tones coming through on the slightly conservative finish. I probably just prefer the Beaune Perrières this year. |

The palate is well balanced with a mineral-rich entry, a fine bead of acidity and touches of brown spice sprinkled over the red fruit. The stony, terse finish indicates that it could age for longer than many will grant it. |
